NSCC Scholarships

NSCC awards scholarships each year to incoming and current students, as well as graduates pursuing further education at four-year colleges or universities. Scholarships are based on academic and non-academic criteria, as well as demonstrated need.

Scholarship Program
The NSCC Foundation Scholarship Program offers scholarships to NSCC students each year. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, in consideration of both academic and non-academic factors, as well as demonstrated need.

Since 1985, more than 3,600 NSCC Foundation scholarships totaling $3M have been awarded to deserving NSCC students. In 2016, more than $160,000 in scholarships was awarded to over 1680 NSCC students.

Scholarships have a significant impact on student success. A single NSCC scholarship covers nearly 20% of tuition & fees for a full-time student, and students who receive scholarships graduate at a 51% higher rate on average than students without scholarships.


How to Apply
The application process for NSCC Foundation Scholarships opens in mid-January. Please revisit this website for updates regarding application instructions and deadlines.

Many scholarships are available through an online application process (which will be available on this website), while certain scholarships have a paper application.
