NSCC need and merit-based scholarships
Since 1985, the NSCC Foundation Scholarship Program has been supporting current and incoming students with scholarship awards. Awardees are selected from a pool of eligible applicants by an internal review committee and matched to scholarships through a streamlined process. This committee includes faculty, staff (current and retired), and members of the NSCC Foundation Board of Directors. Eligible students will receive an email invitation to complete the online application. Some scholarships are renewable for multiple semesters, depending on student performance. A limited number of scholarships are also available through a competitive application and selection process to graduating NSCC students and alumni for the continuation of their education at four-year institutions.
