NSCC

We’re affordable and valuable

Attending NSCC immediately puts you on the path to financial success by helping you avoid unnecessary student debt.

NSCC’s tuition is $6690 per year for a full-time student — a fraction of the cost of attending a private or state college or university. And, many students who receive Pell grants can have their tuition and fees covered, allowing them to attend college for free. Our low costs, coupled with financial aid and scholarships, can save you — and your family — tens of thousands of dollars.

Where to go from here

Whether you’re pursuing your bachelor’s degree or seeking better professional qualifications, NSCC will help you achieve your goal.

Your Admissions Team, Academic Advisors and Navigate Support Team will guide you from acceptance to completion.

+ Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

As part of NSCC’s commitment to anti-racism, diversity and inclusion, the Equality & Equity Project highlights important facts, stories, and experiences that traditionally have been omitted from the narrative of our country, and offer steps for students to combat inequality.

NSCC is committed to an inclusive, proactive and empowered culture where diversity is a guiding value, not just in theory, but in practice.

Diversity takes many forms.

It recognizes the integrity, contributions, strengths, and viability of different cultural, language, and social groups. Diversity includes, but is not limited to, race and ethnicity, physical abilities or qualities, disability, gender, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, class, educational background, and employment category.

You are welcome, valued and respected.

True diversity implies a pluralistic campus, one that provides students, faculty, and staff the opportunities to learn about, respect, and appreciate each other’s cultures and backgrounds.
