Adult Students (NEC-Plus):

Adult students who are applying for entry into New England College's undergraduate bachelor programs may be eligible for the NEC Plus program if they are:

• at least 25 years of age AND one or more of the following:

• married, or with legal dependents other than a spouse

• and have not been enrolled at New England College for the past four years.

All NEC Plus students take courses along with the traditional undergraduate students at NEC.  This discounted program offers courses at a much lower rate than the regular undergraduate programs at NEC ($385 per credit).  Thus, the NEC Plus Program offers a full academic year (32 credits) at the cost of $12,320. (NOTE: All fees are based on the 2012-13 academic year, with the rates for traditional undergraduate students detailed here).

Students admitted to NEC-Plus may take courses during the day or in the evening (limited), and may attend full- or part-time. There are only a few restrictions to this program:

1) Regular full-time students are given first priority in course selection.
2) Access to academic advising, support, and tutoring is limited; full-time traditional students are given first priority.

NEC Plus students are eligible for federal and state financial aid programs, provided they are enrolled at least half-time. The College does not award institutional scholarships or grants to NEC Plus students.

Applicants to the NEC Plus program must apply for admission and supply standard documentation: official transcripts, letter of recommendation, and personal essay.  For further information, contact the Office of Admission by phone (603) 428-2223 or email at admission@nec.edu.

Veterans:

Honoring the principle upon which the College was founded and the service of the men and women of the armed forces, New England College has instituted a comprehensive veterans program that helps veterans and active reservists take full advantage of their military education benefits.  We are a Yellow Ribbon Program College and can also offer additional assistance to Pre-9/11 eligible veterans with our unique military scholarship program (Russell Durgin Military Scholarship) named in honor of one of our own local heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield in Afghanistan.  It is our commitment to serve the educational needs of those who serve our country that has earned us the label of being a "military friendly school" by the G.I. Jobs magazine.

We encourage you to follow the steps below and always invite you to contact us with questions!

Please visit the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs site for information about applying for education benefits and eligibility. Applications for veteran benefits may be obtained directly from the VA by visiting the VONAPP (Veterans Online Applications) website. If you prefer, completed application forms can be mailed directly to the VA Regional Processing Office (P.O. Box 4616, Buffalo, NY 14240-4616).

NEC is also proud to offer the The Russell Durgin Military Service Scholarship Program named after a lifelong resident of Henniker who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2006. The purpose of the scholarship is to bridge the gap between the costs of undergraduate tuition at NEC and the benefits available through the G.I. Bill. There is no need to apply separately for this scholarship, as the amount will be determined based on the student’s benefit eligibility and financial need.
