Paying for College
College is an investment and that's why we work hard to make NFC affordable.
The financial aid process does take time. We encourage you to start as soon as possible. Although awards are made throughout the year, funds may be limited. If you need assistance with the application process, please contact the NFC Financial Aid office at (850) 973-1621, or stop by our office, located in the Administrative Services Center, Building 2. We serve students on a first come, first serve basis and do not require appointments.

Net Price Calculator
The Net Price Calculator can be used to help calculate the average amount of scholarships and grants that were awarded to students with similar family and financial circumstances. Remember that this is an average award, and the estimate does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price.
NFC Student Scholarships
The NFC Foundation is located in Building 36. Due to the age of our building, there is not an accessible entrance. If you need to meet with NFC Foundation staff and require special accommodations, please call 850-973-9414 and we will schedule a meeting in an accessible building/location on campus.
Estimated Cost of Attendance at NFC
Most individuals calculate the cost of education by the amount of tuition and fees charged plus the cost of books and supplies. These are direct educational expenses. There are, however, indirect educational expenses, such as transportation expenses, for which students will need to budget. The chart below illustrates examples of both in-state and out-of-state budgets for full-time college credit students. Estimated expenses outlined below are based on a two-semester academic year; 15 credit hours per term or 30 credit hours total.
| Full-Time College Credit Budget | In-State | Out-of-State |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition and Fees (30 Credits) | $3,084 | $12,018 |
