Financial Aid
Don’t let money stand in the way of achieving your goals. As an NIC student, you
may be eligible to receive financial assistance from loans, grants, bursaries, or
scholarships. NIC’s financial aid advisors can help you with loan forms and financial
aid applications. They can also work with you to explore all your funding options,
from bank and government student loans to scholarships, study grants, and bursaries.
Speak with a financial aid advisor for options and funding sources available to
you.
