Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

AMAZING education for the price you pay (compared to all the other colleges). Though, books are cheaper on Amazon than in the bookstore, of course!

I absolutely recommend NSCC. Even if you just come for a year, then transfer! It's great because you're getting a very valued education for half the price you'd be paying at any other colleges.
