The scholarship application period for the 2018-2019 academic year is now open. The deadline to submit your application is April 30, 2018.

Before getting started, make sure to read the following:

Tips for a Better Application

  • The ideal response to each essay question is between 150 and 300 words, so make sure your responses are descriptive. If you find you need help during the application process, please visit the writing center.
  • The scholarship application has no spell check, so we recommend completing the essay portion of your application in a word-processor and conducting a spell check before submitting your application.

NHCC offers scholarships based on a variety of eligibility requirements including: program of study, academic achievement, community involvement and financial need. Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $1000.

Fill out one online application for all NHCC scholarships during the open application period. Your application considered for any scholarship where you meet the requirements. Some scholarships require some additional submissions. If you qualify for one of those, you will receive an email telling you what additional items you may need to submit.

Disbursement Information
