Northern Pennsylvania Regional College (NPRC) is proud to announce that it has received official approval from the U.S. Department of Education to participate in Title IV federal student aid programs under the Higher Education Act (HEA). This significant milestone enables NPRC students to apply for and receive federal financial aid to help cover the cost of their education.
Beginning immediately, current and prospective students can complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using NPRC’s federal school code: 043159. This will allow eligible students to access a range of federal financial aid options, including Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study, and Federal Direct Student Loans.
“This approval marks a major step forward for NPRC and the communities we serve,” said Susan Gleason, Director of Financial Aid. “Access to federal financial aid increases opportunity and affordability for our students throughout our rural areas. We are proud to support them in this critical way.”
NPRC was founded to provide affordable and accessible education across northern Pennsylvania, with a mission centered on meeting regional workforce needs through career-focused associate degree and certificate programs. Title IV participation strengthens this mission by expanding financial access to postsecondary education throughout the region.
The NPRC Financial Aid office encourages students to complete their FAFSA by heading online to studentaid.gov to start the FAFSA process, using the school code 043159. If students have questions about FAFSA completion, please contact NPRC’s Financial Aid office by email at financialaid@rrcnpa.org.
