PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS BELOW:

Automatch Scholarships:
Once you complete and submit your General Application, you will be matched with scholarships for which you immediately qualify no further action is required.

Automatch scholarships will appear with “No additional information required” listed under the “Action” column – this means an additional application is not required for consideration. The “Deadline” column indicates the deadline to submit a completed application to receive consideration. This is not the deadline to accept the award.

Apply To Scholarships:
To see a list of scholarships that may need additional action “Apply To” on your part to receive consideration, select “Recommended” under “Opportunities.” All students who qualify will be auto-matched to these opportunities.

Qualifying for both opportunities does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship.

Browsing “All” Scholarships:
Below is a list of all scholarship opportunities within the NCC Scholarship Opportunity Manager. This list shows all scholarships, not scholarships for which you are receiving consideration.

* *Scholarship award amounts vary based on student’s individual eligibility, funds available, financial need, and other factors.* *

The Scholarships Office will notify you directly when you are selected to receive an award, via your NCC e-mail. Continue to check your e-mail throughout the summer months leading up to the Fall semester. Also, be aware that we may need to call you about your award. Please make sure you have included a valid phone number on your student record where the Scholarships Office can contact you or leave a message. It is important for NCC and the Scholarships Office to have your most up-to-date contact information on file. If you need to update your address and/or phone number on your student record, submit your changes at Workday > Biographical Information on the NCC website, or complete and submit the Change of Student Information form to the Records Office.

Most scholarship awards for the academic year are made during the summer months leading up to the start of the Fall semester. To be considered for any scholarship award, you must have submitted both your application for enrollment to NCC, and your Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application, and be registered for six or more credit hours each semester. GPA and credit requirements may differ depending on each scholarship’s criteria. Please note that the sooner you register for your classes each semester, the sooner we can determine your eligibility for a scholarship – and the sooner you’ll receive your award!

Scholarship awards are given for one academic year. You must reapply and qualify each academic year. The amount you receive may be divided between your Fall and Spring semesters. Each qualifying student will be considered for scholarship assistance for a maximum of four semesters. Once the award year is complete you must reapply. Also, a drop in your credit load or withdrawing from classes can affect both your Financial Aid and your continued eligibility for your scholarship award.
