Financial Aid Information and Scholarship Searches
- TFS: Tuition Funding Sources - www.tuitionfundingsources.com
The Pepsi-Cola Company has selected Northwestern Michigan College as one of the few schools in the country to receive the Tuition Funding Sources program. This program contains the world’s largest scholarship database, at least five to ten times larger than any other source. Students at NMC get free access to the information. Unlike other scholarship search websites, the TFS website does not collect student names and their other personal information for resale. And there is no advertising - not even for Pepsi-Cola products - even though Pepsi pays for the program. - Financial Aid Estimator - www.finaid.org/calculators
