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

“It was a wonderful experience here at NPRC. I learned so much and my instructor was amazing. He was knowledgeable and made sure that everything we need is uploaded online and communicates well with us. He also held us accountable to make sure we were learning and ready. I enjoyed working alongside my amazing classmates and all the different experiences they brought to the course. Everyone in our class was eager to learn and was proactive about staying up to date on what is being asked of us.”

- Marie, NPRC EMT Graduate

“Attending NPRC was truly life-changing for me and provided a foundation to pursue my passion for early childhood education. I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this field. But it was bigger than just academics; my professors taught me valuable life lessons and instilled important values that have shaped who I am today. Overall, my college journey has not only prepared me for a successful career but has also equipped me with the mindset and tools to make a positive impact on the lives of young children.”

- Brittany, Early Childhood Education Graduate

“I had a fear that this degree would be unobtainable due to being a full-time employee and mother. With the support of family, friends, coworkers, and NPRC, I’ve gained confidence and support to continue my education.”

- Brittney, NPRC Student

“From the first time I found out about
NPRC, I knew attending college was
something I wanted to pursue because
of how genuine the first interaction was.
I’m proof that finding the right path can
be done. It’s worth it to find ways out of
situations you do not want to be in for
better ones. I can’t say enough about how
NPRC’s employees have empowered and
advocated for me.”

- Amanda, NPRC Student

"NPRC’s faculty, staff, and professors do
everything they can to see the students
succeed and provide us with exactly what
we need to do our best both inside the
classroom and out. The early childhood
education program is phenomenal. It was
a school that aided me in balancing class,
schoolwork, and my career. From the start
and throughout my time, NPRC made me
feel like I was at the right place.”

- Savannah, Early Childhood Education Graduate
