History
Northland Bible Camp & Conference Center was established in 1976. The first president was Paul Patz.
2009 financial aid controversy
In August 2009, the Wisconsin Higher Education Aids Board determined that undergraduate students from Wisconsin attending Northland are not eligible for the Wisconsin Tuition Grant and other state financial aid because the college's accreditation is from an association of Christian colleges, rather than the regional accreditation association used by most schools in the region. Northland appealed the ruling to agency's board, citing the accreditor's federal government recogntion. A decision was expected in the fall of 2009, but students are not eligible for state aid for the 2009-2010 school year. [3]
