Meet Angella and Sean, 2023 Scholarship Awardees

Since 1985, the NSCC Foundation Scholarship Program has provided scholarship awards to current and incoming NSCC students. Additionally, the NSCC Alumni Association partners with the Scholarship Program to award four scholarships annually to NSCC graduating students and alumni continuing their education at four-year institutions. For the 2023-2024 academic year, more than 300 students were awarded scholarships totaling more than $340,000.  

More than $5 million in scholarships have helped NSCC students and alumni achieve their academic goals.

Foundation Scholarships are funded by generous donors through the North Shore Community College Foundation.  Students are matched to the scholarships for which they meet the criteria, and a final decision is rendered by an internal scholarship review committee comprised of NSCC faculty and staff (current and retired), as well as representatives from the NSCC Foundation Board of Directors.  Some scholarships are renewable for multiple semesters, based on student performance.
