Northeast Iowa Community College receives financial assistance grant

Northeast Iowa Community College has received a grant that will provide more financial assistance for low-income eligible students through the Iowa Department of Human Services' Food Assistance Employment and Training (FA E&T) program. 

NICC was selected in part because there are a substantial percentage of Northeast Iowa residents who qualify for food assistance and who have not earned a high school diploma or a high school equivalency diploma. The grant will provide financial assistance for students who receive Food Assistance through the Iowa Department of Human Services and enroll in one of 19 Career Pathway Certificate programs offered at NICC.
