Pell Yes! A New NBSS Scholarship Program
NBSS is dedicated to helping students afford the cost of your education, and we are proud to announce our newest scholarship program, designed to address a unique financial challenge faced by many of our students.
Many non-traditional students and career changers come to NBSS already having earned a bachelor’s degree. Because federal rules prohibit holders of a bachelor’s degree from receiving a Federal Pell Grant, a valuable financial aid resource has been unavailable to some NBSS students. Pell Yes!—our new institutional Pell Grant replacement program—makes up to $7,395 in individual funding available to need-qualified applicants every year.
This gift replicates the Federal Pell Grant, and is just one of many types of aid NBSS offers. In addition, we provide over $1.1M in School grants to students each year, making an education at America’s first trade school more affordable than ever. Learn more about all of our funding options.
