Renewed grant funding by the American Legion of Iowa Foundation will support scholarships for veterans who attend NICC during the 2017 academic year. The school has announced its foundation has received a $2,000 donation from the American Legion.
U.S. military veterans, spouses of veterans, and dependent children of veterans may qualify for the tuition assistance offered by NICC. NICC serves approximately 160 student at its Calmar and Peosta campuses. Although student veterans receive educational benefits through the Veterans Administration for their military service, the funding often does not cover all student expenses.
