Scholarship Details
One application is all students need to complete. Students will be considered for NHCC scholarships based upon their student information, essays, and other information provided.
The essays required on the scholarship applications play a primary role in awarding the scholarships. It is important to dedicate time to writing and reviewing your essays. The NHCC Writing Center and TRIO programs (for those who are TRIO students) are willing to review your essays and provide feedback. Many students use this service so best to make an appointment early as appointments are limited and often fill within two weeks of the deadline.
