Northampton Community College’s Benefits Access for College Completion
Abstract
Northampton Community College (NCC)’s Benefits Access for College Completion (BACC) program informs current students of government funding benefits in order to assist them through the completion of their degrees. Unlike other programs, NCC educates these students on the importance of their future physical and financial health, and available options through the new Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. Young adults are suffering repercussions from being uninsured, and more of their time is consumed working rather than completing degrees that could lead to better and more successful career choices. The solution is educating current NCC students and surrounding communities about the benefits that are currently available. By completing their college education, students will be able to provide better opportunities for themselves and their families.
