Northridge Sibling Discount Calculator

What Is the Northridge Sibling Discount?

Northridge Community College offers a special tuition reduction for families that enroll two or more siblings in the same semester. The program is designed to make higher education more affordable for multichild households. The discount is calculated as a percentage of the tuition cost for each eligible sibling after the first child, and it can be combined with other financialaid options such as scholarships or federal aid.

Key points to remember:

• The discount applies only to tuition and mandatory fees, not to housing, books, or transportation.
• Both siblings must be enrolled fulltime (or meet the minimum credithour requirement) for the discount to be applied.
• The discount percentage is set by the college each academic year; for the 202425 year it is 25% per sibling after the first.

How the Discount Is Calculated

The calculation follows a simple formula:

        Discount Amount = (Number of Eligible Siblings  1)  Discount Rate  Tuition Per Student        Total Tuition Payable = (Number of Eligible Siblings  Tuition Per Student)  Discount Amount    

Definitions

• Number of Eligible Siblings: The count of children from the same household enrolled in the same semester.
• Discount Rate: The percentage discount offered per eligible sibling (e.g., 0.25 for 25%).
• Tuition Per Student: The standard tuition charge for a fulltime student before any discounts.

The first sibling pays the full tuition. Each additional sibling receives the discount on their own tuition amount, not a cumulative reduction on the total bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the discount be applied to parttime students?

The discount only applies when each sibling meets the minimum credithour threshold for fulltime status. Parttime enrollment does not qualify for the sibling discount.

What if my siblings are in different programs?

As long as they are enrolled at Northridge Community College for the same semester, the program of study does not affect eligibility.

Is the discount stackable with other scholarships?

Yes. The sibling discount is applied after any tuitionbased scholarships are deducted. However, it cannot be combined with other tuitionreduction promotions that target the same tuition line item.

Do I need to fill out a separate form?

The enrollment office automatically applies the discount when the registration system detects more than one sibling from the same household. You must provide proof of relationship (e.g., birth certificates) during the verification step.
