The mission of the NCC Office of Financial Aid is to ensure that students have access to a college education by educating students and parents about federal, state, institutional and private aid opportunities, and helping them obtain all the financial resources for which they are eligible. Our goal is to allow students to focus on their academic success by removing financial barriers. We are committed to providing service to all individuals, regardless of background, culture or lifestyle. 

We endeavor to help incoming students make a successful transition to college by guiding them through the application process and providing the means for them to increase their financial literacy. In addition, we promote the college's retention efforts by providing on-going assistance to our continuing students to help them achieve their academic goals.

We adhere to all Federal, State and Institutional guidelines to ensure that available funds are distributed equitably to all eligible students, recognizing that the primary purpose of student aid is to provide financial resources to students who would otherwise be unable to pursue post-secondary education.
