Financial Aid
Many international businesses are interested in developing an “internationally savvy” workforce. We will be working with them to develop financial aid resources and invite you to inquire early as to how you can participate. All customary NCTC financial aid (except work-study) and scholarships may be applied to the costs of this program. In some cases, studying abroad can raise the "need" level of the student and change financial aid eligibility.
