2. NEC Net Price Calculator: Want an estimate of your award in under 10 minutes and additional $500 scholarship? Complete the NEC Net Price Calculator and get an estimate that’s as close as it gets to your actual award.

3. Personalized Assistance: Have questions or need guidance? Our Financial Aid Counselors are here for you. Schedule a 1:1 appointment and remember: No question is too big or too small. We’re dedicated to ensuring you get the support you need. If you’d prefer to email, reach us at sfs@nec.edu.
