Awarded for academic merit and financial need, Norwalk Community College Foundation scholarships assist current students and high-achieving NCC graduates who transfer to four-year institutions. This support can be truly life-changing.
The NCC Foundation has nearly 100 named scholarships funds that provide eligible full-time students with as much as $3,000 for the academic year, with an additional $500 to take a Winter Session class, and up to $1,000 for Summer Semester classes.
During the 2015-2016 academic year, the Foundation awarded $950,000 in scholarships to 493 students. The average NCC Foundation scholarship recipient has a 3.4 grade point average, enrolls in three classes a semester (nine to 11 credits) and will begin the Fall semester with 39 credits. Those who are eligible for federal financial aid typically receive $5,600 in state and federal grants each year, and still have an additional annual “unmet need” of almost $9,700 on average for expenses such as housing, transportation and child care.
For information on any program, please visit the scholarship section of the NCC Foundation website at www.NCC-Foundation.org or call Terri Nackid, Manager of Scholarship and Donor Relations, at (203) 857-7139. Donors can contribute to an existing scholarship or create their own named fund.
