Paying For College

WE’RE COMMITTED TO SEEING YOU GRADUATE ON TIME, ON BUDGET AND ON TRACK TO SUCCEED.

Returning to college doesn’t mean taking on more debt. We encourage you to apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships to help with the cost. The Pell Grant assists undergraduate students who need financial help for their education, and like other grants, it does not have to be repaid.

To determine if you are Pell Grant eligible and to apply for financial aid, begin by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Northeast’s Federal ID # is 002556.
