* The Part-Time Practical Nursing program is also eligible for Financial Aid due to the clock hour requirement of this option.

Paying For Part-Time Courses

- Some local scholarships
- PLCC payment plans for tuition
- Ohio Means Jobs
- Employer-Sponsored Funding
- PLCC offers a one-time $250 scholarship for alumni of PLCC’s four partner districts as well as Veterans and immediate family members of PLCC employees.
Cost Of Attendance
Cost of attendance IS NOT the tuition cost. Cost of attendance often includes additional factors like potential room and board, transportation costs, and personal expenses beyond tuition and are dependent on each individual. Please refer to the Adult Education Catalog or the program pages for accurate, all-inclusive tuition costs.
Loan Counseling
Recipients of the Federal Direct Student Loans are required by federal regulations to complete entrance and exit loan-counseling sessions. Entrance counseling sessions must be completed prior to the student receiving the loan proceeds. Exit counseling sessions must be completed at the time of graduation or when a student leaves school.
