NWTC’s scholarship process allows you to fill out one application. The system will match you to scholarships you qualify for.
Scholarship applications are accepted twice a year.
- Fall Semester: Applications accepted March 1 – May 16. Students are notified via email in June. Awards can be used for summer.
- Spring Semester: Applications accepted October 1 – November 5. Students are notified via email in December.
If you have filled out a scholarship application for a previous semester, you will need to complete the application again for each semester you wish to be considered for a scholarship.
To fill out a scholarship application:
-
Go directly to the Scholarships Site or follow these directions to find it in the Student Portal. Log in to the Student Portal using your NWTC ID number and password. You may need to use multi-factor authentication to verify your identity. (Watch a short video about how to log in to your account.)
- From the left-hand menu, click Finances.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click Scholarships: Learn more and apply for scholarships in the “Helpful Links” box.
Letters of Recommendation
The NWTC scholarship application requires you to submit a letter of recommendation. One letter of recommendation is required, but three are better. A letter of recommendation is similar to a professional reference, where the person you choose articulates your strengths and praises your accomplishments.
Suggested people to ask for a letter of recommendation: Teacher, employer, co-worker, coach, pastor/minister, mentor.
Do not ask a friend, family member, or significant other to write a letter of recommendation.
The person you choose to write a letter of recommendation for you will receive an email from NWTCFoundation@ngwebsolutions.com with instructions on how to complete their recommendation. Letters of recommendation may only be submitted through the online process.
