This scholarship is available to new, first year students. Half of the amount awarded will be applied to the student's account in the first year and is renewable for the same amount in the second year.

NECI Financial Planners can be reached at planner@neci.edu or call toll-free 877-223-6324. The financial planners work with new students before they begin at NECI to put together a financial plan for first year cost.

The best part of NECI is the small classes and intense interaction with the teachers. They can read you like a recipe – that’s why I came here.”
