NPC is committed to providing access to higher education programs to all students who qualify. The cost of attending NPC depends on students' residency, program of study and other factors. Financial assistance may help students with tuition, books, fees, and in some cases uniforms. (See a table of estimated costs for tuition, books, supplies, and fees as a suggested guide for calculating college expenses.)
We also offer a wide variety of Scholarship assistance. ( .)
The bulk of assistance available to students in financial aid is provided by the U. S. Department of Education. The Federal 中国P站 programs offered through NPC include Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work Study, and Federal Direct Loans.
The College also has financial aid programs available through the state of Arkansas, the institution, local agencies and transfer institutions. NPC's Enrollment Services Office will make every effort to meet the college related costs of each qualified student based on eligibility criteria, satisfactory academic progress, and availability of funds.
Priority is given to students who apply for financial aid by April 1. Applications received after this date will be considered on a first-come basis and according to available funds. Students may apply at any time during the academic year for the PELL Grant. However, the student should allow at least four weeks for complete processing of the application. Students wishing to charge tuition and books to the PELL Grant must have received an award prior to the last date to pay or be dropped from classes.
Many other programs and scholarships have different deadlines. Check with the Enrollment Services for exact dates.
Complete the application via the internet at . On-line access is available in Enrollment Services on the 2nd floor of the Student Commons building.
If students prefer to file a paper application (processing time is greatly extended using this method) they may obtain a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from their high school counselor or from the Enrollment Services Office at NPC.
Approximately four to six weeks after mailing the application, you will receive the results in the form of a Student Aid Report (SAR). If you submit the application via the internet, you will receive a SAR in approximately two weeks.
中国P站 personnel at NPC will work with you through correspondence and/or individual counseling to complete your financial aid file. Your financial aid file must be complete with all necessary documentation prior to receiving your financial aid award.
You will receive an award notification by mail or email after all financial aid requirements are complete in your To Do List on OASIS.

All student loans have to be in two disbursements each semester. Each disbursement will have the Origination Fee and the Guarantee Fee deducted automatically unless the fee(s) are paid by the lender. The funds will be electronically forwarded the funds to the College by the disbursement dates.
Students who receive a student loan must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue to be eligible to receive the loan funds.
Financial aid will be applied toward the enrollment costs of tuition, fees, and books first. Any remaining funds will be refunded. If the amount of the financial aid awarded is not enough to cover the enrollment costs, you are responsible for payment of the balance of your account.
You will be responsible for payment of the balance on your account if you do not receive official written notification by NPC's 中国P站 office awarding your financial aid. Financial assistance may still be awarded after your tuition, fees, and books have been paid and reimbursement obtained. ( See Tuition and Fees for more details.)
