A Reader\u2019s Digest<\/i> article lists Northland Pioneer College as the least expensive<\/span> community college in the state of Arizona! In fact, NPC\u2019s low tuition<\/span> of $2,250 per year was the fifth lowest <\/span>in the entire country,<\/i> behind community colleges <\/span>in Texas and California as well as two Native <\/span>American institutions in New Mexico and <\/span>North Dakota.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huffington Post<\/i> writer Lauren Cahn compiled the lowest tuition rates in each state,<\/span>\u00a0finding that, in most cases, community colleges were the most affordable<\/span> avenue to obtain a post secondary degree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe serve two of the poorest counties in the country, and our tuition is kept low to<\/span>\u00a0better provide educational opportunities to those in our service area,\u201d notes NPC<\/span>\u00a0President Mark Vest<\/span>. \u201cThis national recognition confirms that a quality education<\/span> does not have to cost over $50,000 per year. Our students graduate with little or no debt, thanks to generous scholarships and our affordable tuition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

NPC offers interesting and educational adult daytrips from June-October<\/b> for area residents (21 and over). For a reasonable cost, participants explore historical, cultural and scenic locations in northern Arizona, and NPC does all the driving and planning!<\/b> A Show Low couple went on two previous excursions and now they\u2019re regular attendees! \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jessie<\/b> and Richard Couillard\u2019s<\/b> first NPC excursion was a daytrip to the Rock Art Ranch,<\/i> near Winslow. \u201cWe were able to enjoy the scenery and didn\u2019t have to worry about finding our way or where to have lunch. Everything was provided, and we could just relax and enjoy a wonderful experience,\u201d Jessie says.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Couillards then joined an excursion to Petrified Forest National Park.<\/i> Jessie explained, \u201cWe had always said, \u2018Someday we\u2019ll have to go there.\u2019 Someday had arrived! A guide took us on a short walk to explain how fossils emerge, and we were taken behind the scenes to see the processing of artifacts. We were shown many places and<\/span>\u00a0things other tourists don\u2019t get to see. I\u2019ve signed us up for many more NPC excursions!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Departure points for NPC excursions are located at NPC\u2019s Winslow, Holbrook, Snowflake and Show Low campuses. For more information see:<\/span><\/p>\n
