NPRC Offers Low Tuition Costs & Financial Aid Options in Pa.

One of the first things prospective students consider when looking to further their education is the price. NPRC was named the most affordable two-year college in Pennsylvania in 2024, with complete degrees averaging around $15,000 against a national average that has students paying the same amount per year of admission.

At Northern Pennsylvania Regional College, we understand that students and parents can feel overwhelmed with the cost of college. That’s why we work to help them reach their educational goals while attempting to ease the financial commitment that accompanies college attendance. We offer multiple payment options, institutional aid, assistance with the financial aid processes, and resources to scholarships available throughout the 10 counties we serve in PA.

Group 35

Growing up in rural Potter County, Pennsylvania meant if I wanted good educational and employment opportunities, I would have to move. When NPRC started offering classes less than 30 minutes from my home (almost an hour closer than the next closest college), my future was no longer dependent on living in a more urban area. I received a quality education without spending the tens of thousands of dollars on room and board a traditional school would have required. And now, I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the team making this story possible for so many other people in rural Pennsylvania. NPRC’s mission is a necessary one, helping serve a part of the population that has lacked affordable and quality higher education for decades. This school helped me avoid debt, find my path in life, and now, I have a job I love and opportunities I never expected.
