MERRIMACK – Nashua Community College has funding available to help new and returning students starting this spring semester. Students and families whose lives have been touched by COVID-19 in any way can apply for assistance.

The assistance covers more than just tuition; students can use funds for expenses such as off-campus housing and utilities, childcare, off-campus food and toiletries, expenses related to online learning, and medication and mental health care.

NCC received funds through the Tuition Assistance through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act. At NCC, college faculty and staff hope to help returning students stay on track, and give new students the financial support they need to enroll.

Eligibility

If you or someone in your household have experienced a financial loss or increased expenses due to COVID-19, you may be eligible for tuition and fees assistance at any of New Hampshire’s Community Colleges. In awarding funds, the Community College System of NH is subject to eligibility and compliance rules determined at the federal level.
