Financial Aid and Scholarships The National Labor College recognizes the impact that the cost of higher education can have on students and their families, and endeavors to minimize financial barriers to students who seek to continue their education. Below are some of the types of assistance available.
Federal Financial Aid The National Labor College participates in the federal student loan programs. Only degree courses that extend the length of a full term (or semester) are eligible for federal aid. Students should consult with their Enrollment Coordinator or an Academic Advisor to ensure that their course selection meets the Department of Education’s criteria for federal financial aid. Students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, available from the Department of Education online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
Scholarships A number of scholarships are available to students and are awarded on the basis of financial need. Some, however, are union-specific scholarships available only to students who are members of that union. A complete list of these scholarships and the required Scholarship Request Form are available from the Student Financial Services Department, 301-431-5404 or at http://www.nlc.edu/financial-aid-admin.html.
Veterans Benefits The College is pleased to participate in the Veterans Benefits program. Interested students should contact the Veterans Administration for more information at http://www.gibill.va.gov/.
