Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: August 13, 2026

CollegeNPC.com is a free, advertising-supported resource owned and operated by Hot Key Media LLC. Here is exactly how that works.

How we make money

The Site may display school listing widgets, inquiry forms, or program listings (“Listings”) provided by third-party partners or lead-generation networks, including ESY (esyoh.com). Many of the school and program Listings on this Site are from partners who compensate us, and we may receive compensation if you click, submit a form, or request information through a Listing. This compensation may affect how, where, and in what order Listings appear (such as featured placements). That compensation funds the site.

Hot Key Media LLC does not own, operate, or control the Listings themselves, the schools or organizations that appear in them, or the policies, practices, or decisions of those schools.

What compensation does not affect

Compensation does not influence our editorial content, evaluations, or cost data, which are determined independently using publicly available federal data. School data pages are generated from U.S. Department of Education datasets for every qualifying institution. No school pays to be listed, no school can pay to change its numbers, and compensation never affects the figures or cost lists, which follow the published rules on the methodology page.

Lowest-cost lists are ranked by published federal data using a stated metric. A partner relationship cannot move a school up a list. We do not review or feature every school or program available in the marketplace. Always verify program details, costs, accreditation, and admission requirements directly with the school before submitting any form or making a decision.

Your choices

Interacting with partner Listings is optional, and every cost figure on this site is available without it. Partner widgets are hosted and operated by the partners themselves; information you enter goes directly to them and is governed by their privacy policies. For how information is handled and your privacy rights, including opting out of sale or sharing, see the privacy policy and Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.
