Financial Assistance

National College-Funded Financial Assistance Programs

A Public-Private Partnership - Workforce Development Grant

This program, exclusive to National College, provides matching funds to many federal, state, and local workforce development and worker retraining programs. Over the past decade, National has provided more than $3.5 million in matching funds to over 1,300 students. Up to $6,000 per year may be awarded through this grant to supplement programs such as the Workforce Investment Act, Trade Adjustment Act, Vocational Rehabilitation, and similar programs.

Helping Companies Invest in their Employees - Business Partnership Grant

Another program unique to National College, the Business Partnership Grant supplements employer-provided tuition assistance to qualified students. National College will match up to $1 for every $3 that your employer provides in tuition reimbursement funds. The college allocates up to $2 million per academic year for this grant.

Work Study

National College offers an institutional work-study program which provides additional opportunities for students to help finance their educations. Whenever possible, work study employment is designed to improve students' business skills and to provide experience for the business specialization in which they are enrolled.

Advanced Payment Option

Any student who pays charges of $100 or more for tuition, fees, books or supplies by cash on or before the first day of the term will receive a 5% discount on that portion of the charges paid by cash (discount not available to students at Ohio and Tennessee campuses.) In addition, any student who makes cash payment for the full tuition charge (discounted or undiscounted) for any course on or before the first day of the term will receive the book(s) for that course free of charge (books at no additional cost not available to students at Tennessee campuses)

Tuition Payment Plan

Any student that enrolls in the payment plan will have the option to make three payments each term. The first will be made on or before the first day of class, the second will be made on or before the 1st of the next month, and the final will be made on or before the 1st of the 3rd month. In addition, if payments are current, paid on-time, and total the full tuition charge for any course they will receive book(s) for that course at no additional cost (books at no cost not available at Tennessee Campuses).
