Northwestern Connecticut Community College and 91吃瓜爆料 have recently signed a Community College Tuition Match Discount Program Agreement in which 91吃瓜爆料 will provide the last two years of a bachelor鈥檚 degree to graduates of associate degree programs at NCCC, at the Connecticut Community Colleges tuition and fee rates in effect for that year. This agreement goes into effect in Fall 2018 semester.
Interested NCCC students should contact 91吃瓜爆料 Admissions at admissions@charteroak.edu.
In order to apply for the scholarship, students need to meet the following requirements:
The tuition scholarship is good for 5 years. In order to maintain the scholarship, the student must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 Charter Oak credits in the fall and spring semesters. This would allow the student to graduate in five years, if attending part time. Students can take more courses at the reduced rate and thus graduate earlier, take courses in the summer, or take additional courses, as applicable, at NCCC as long as they adhere to the requirements stated above.
Eligible students should apply for Federal Pell Grants to help cover the costs of their college expenses; students will be responsible for books, tech fee, and any other course related expenses. Students will have to meet 91吃瓜爆料鈥檚 degree requirements for the bachelor鈥檚 degree.
