COST MATTERS
One of the reasons Northpoint College exists is to bridge the gap between a world-class education
and ministry preparation, and the spiraling costs of higher learning.
We want to help you graduate debt free and step into your calling!
THE NORTHPOINT COST DIFFERENCE
Our partnership with Grand Rapids First has allowed us to use the facility of the local church in a way that dramatically decreases costs for traditional students.
Here's what that savings look like:
If you qualify for the maximum Pell Grant, next year's out-of-pocket cost for tuition could be as low as $6,670. That's something that a steady part-time job or great full-time summer job can cover. That's not even considering the addition of any SCHOLARSHIPS you might qualify for!

Tuition and Fees
Below is a more detailed breakdown of what it will cost to attend Northpoint. The fees shown represent a full-time student attending for an entire year. Please remember that book costs fluctuate, and housing costs should be considered. This is a world-class academic experience that won't break the bank.

Financial Aid and Planning
Federal Financial Aid
Northpoint students may apply for federal aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority deadline for Financial Aid is March 1 for fall semesters and November 1 for spring semesters. FAFSAs will be accepted after these dates, but available aid may be limited.
