Studying Online With Northwest Career College

With the current social-distancing rules in place, it might seem like your plan to enroll at Northwest Career College, and therefore your plans to train for your new career will need to put on hold.

Thankfully this isn’t the case. As part of our student-focussed policy, we’ve put in place measures to make sure our teaching methods for the vast majority of our courses are as flexible as possible.

We understand that our potential new students have other responsibilities, such as jobs and families to look after. That is why we offer our students the ability to join our lessons online when coming to campus is not an option.

Northwest and COVID-19

Here at Northwest, we like to think of all our students, staff, and faculty as part of the family, which is why we are taking the current COVID-19 outbreak very seriously. 

On-campus lessons may have been suspended, but we are committed to allowing our students, both new and existing, to continue their education with us by using our existing online infrastructure. 

Our classes will continue online for existing students and we will continue to accept new students and provide the highest level of remote tutoring so they can have access to the education they deserve.

The Northwest COVID-19 Scholarship

As a part of the Las Vegas community, we understand the impact that closure of business has already had on people.

Las Vegas has always been a heavily service-oriented town and we want to do what we can to support those service industry workers who have lost their livelihood because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

To that end, we have announced that we will be offering a $2000 scholarship to those workers laid off, fired, or furloughed after March 1, 2020. 

This $2000 scholarship, combined with the student funding offered by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or VA Approved Funding, will typically cover any out of pocket expenses associated with studying with us, although this may change on a person to person basis.

To apply for this scholarship, call us on (702) 213-8206 to speak with our dedicated student financing team.
