Scholarship Awards/Payments

• Scholarship awards made for attendance at NHCC are posted as a credit to the student’s tuition/fees account. Scholarship awards made for attendance elsewhere are mailed to the student’s transferring institution to be applied on their tuition/fees account.

• Scholarship awards for full-year scholarships are split equally between fall and spring semesters; spring semester attendance is required or the balance of the award is forfeited.
