Paying for College

Unapologetically Affordable

Paying for college is a big decision— and at New River CTC, we work hard to keep it within reach. Our programs are designed to give you a respected, career-ready degree without the burden of major student debt. In fact, 87% of our first-time, full-time students receive financial aid, and many graduate with little to no debt at all.

How to Pay for College

Learn more about the options available to help cover tuition, fees, and other expenses.

Financial Aid

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your first step to making college affordable.

It gives you access to grants (which don’t have to be paid back), affordable loans, and work-study opportunities.

The FAFSA only takes about 30 minutes— and we’re here to help if you need it.

Scholarships

Each year, the New River CTC Foundation awards over $125,000 in scholarships to students just like you. Scholarships, like grants, do not have to be paid back— they’re an investment in your future.

Payment Plan

We offer an easy-to-manage payment plan that splits your tuition and fees into four equal installments, due before the end of the term.

If financial aid doesn’t fully cover your balance, you must sign up for the payment plan to stay on track.
