Our focus is on reaching as many students and families as possible across the socioeconomic spectrum with the message that college can be affordable and accessible. We do this by empowering them with the necessary information and linking them with the resources they need to take the next steps.
We consider each and every student and family we touch through our programming to be a “client” of the National Center for College Costs. Those attending schools or participating in other programs sponsoring NCCC activities have access to our staff via a toll-free number and email, as questions arise during the college process.
In order to reach large numbers of students and their families, our primary programming work is done utilizing a time and cost-effective group workshop format. We don’t take individual clients for a fee and have been able to maintain our core focus largely due to the financial support of philanthropic foundations, school systems, colleges and businesses. Their support enables many families to receive programs and services they otherwise would not be able to afford and which many would not receive elsewhere.
