We’re here to help you afford your college education!
Broaden your career opportunities or prepare to transfer to a four-year institution with an affordable education from Northampton Community College—here, you can save up to $40,000 per year! We support your learning through a variety of financial aid resources and opportunities: with $53 million in total aid to distribute each year, including nearly 1,000 annual scholarships, we’re committed to helping students like you afford college.
At NCC, 50% of students receive some form of aid. Our resources can help you apply for scholarships, explore types of aid, complete FAFSA requirements and meet financial aid deadlines.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
The first step to receiving NCC financial aid is completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The NCC federal school code is 007191 - you’ll need this to complete the FAFSA. You should complete your FAFSA by May 1 for fall semester start and October 1 for spring semester start.
At the same time, you can complete the Pennsylvania State Grant (PHEAA), due May 1. Once you’ve enrolled at NCC, you can also apply for scholarships
Types of Aid
Northampton Community College financial aid opportunities include grants, work-study funding and loans. Your eligibility for these types of aid will be determined by your FAFSA filing. Once you’ve submitted your FAFSA and been admitted to NCC, we will send you details on your financial aid package.
When planning your classes for the semester, it's crucial to ensure that the courses you select align with your program of study, especially if you are relying on financial aid. To check this, visit ‘View My Academic Progress’ under the ‘Academics’ section of Workday Student. Check to make sure none of the classes in your current schedule show in the ‘Unused Registration’ blue link on top. You should see each of them fulfilling a degree requirement in the bottom table.
