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
