Although the cost of attending NCCC is relatively low, the cost may cause some concern for students and their families. STEP 1 Start by acquiring and reading financial aid forms and literature. Contact the NCCC Financial Aid Office for forms, information, clarification and assistance. The third step is to investigate other sources of aid, such as scholarships. Many community clubs, organizations, businesses and churches offer educational scholarships.
Many industries offer paid education as an employee benefit.
Most libraries have a section on college planning that includes information on financial aid. NCCC's Library Learning Center has scholarship materials on reserve for use by students wishing to investigate private funding. When asked, students should provide all information requested by the Financial Aid Office in a timely fashion. We must adhere to Federal and State regulations which require us to verify certain information. At least 30 percent of our applicants are randomly selected by the United States Department of Education each year for a process called verification.
