Financial Aid For Graduate and Professional Studies Students
New England College has made every effort to structure the tuition of its graduate programs so that they are affordable to the typical student. Not all students are able to pay a full semester’s tuition at billing time, however. For these students, there are several options available—a variety of loans as well as a tuition payment plan. These options are made available through outside sources. Click on the Student Financial Services link for detailed information.

Graduate Assistantships
The College offers a limited number of graduate assistantships (on campus jobs) that offset tuition costs. The GA positions are available to all graduate students officially accepted through our Henniker campus. Positions are awarded in August. Contact sgagnon@nec.edu for more information.
