Afford Your Future with NPRC

No, it is not a guarantee for every student. However, for many students, it will become a reality because of federal aid, state aid, scholarships, and paying out of pocket.

There are several terms and conditions that apply in order to earn a degree without debt at NPRC.

This initiative is designed to help eligible students pursue a degree with little to no educational debt through available federal and state financial aid, scholarships, and other qualifying funding sources. Participation in this initiative does not guarantee free tuition, a debt-free degree, or that all educational expenses will be covered.

Eligibility is determined based on federal, state, institutional, and program-specific requirements and is subject to change at any time. Continued eligibility depends on maintaining all applicable requirements, including, but not limited to:

• Maintaining Pennsylvania residency requirements, where applicable.
• Remaining a degree-seeking student at Northern Pennsylvania Regional College.
• Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and any required Pennsylvania State Grant (PHEAA) applications each academic year by applicable deadlines.
• Remaining eligible for federal and state financial aid programs.
• Meeting the College's Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards.
• Complying with all applicable financial aid policies and program requirements.

Yes, there are some factors that could make a difference. Changes in a student's residency, enrollment status, degree-seeking status, financial aid eligibility, academic standing, or failure to complete required financial aid applications may reduce or eliminate eligibility for available funding.

Yes, these are all excellent funding sources we encourage students to explore to help students reduce their costs and debt by enrolling at NPRC.

However, financial aid, scholarships, grants, and other funding sources are limited, subject to availability, and may change based on federal, state, institutional, or donor funding levels. Students are responsible for any remaining educational costs not covered by available financial assistance, including fees, books, supplies, transportation, and other personal or educational expenses, as applicable.

We encourage all students at NPRC to work closely with our Financial Aid Office and their individual student advisor to understand their individual eligibility and identify opportunities to minimize educational debt.
