At North Idaho College (NIC), financial aid consists of scholarships, grants, loans, work-study, and grants-in-aid. The purpose of these aid types is to assist students who, without this aid, would be unable to attend college. The NIC Financial Aid Office (FAO) is committed to assisting students in paying for their education while assuming as little debt as possible. As a result, unsubsidized loans are discouraged and non-debt related types of aid are leveraged whenever possible.
