How to Apply for Scholarships

Current NCTC Students skip to Step Three.

International Students

If applying from outside the United States, transferring from another United States’ college or university, or attending NCTC and another institution concurrently, a few additional steps are required. Please view International Students Admissions for more information or to contact the Admissions Office.

Once Admissions receives your Admission application and processes it, you’ll receive an email thanking you for applying to NCTC. The next business day you should receive a confirmation email containing your NCTC Username and Password.

OneLogin provides easy access to various NCTC applications/services including the NCTC Scholarship Application using your NCTC Username and NCTC Password. See OneLogin for student instructions if assistance is needed to access your OneLogin. If additional assistance is required, please contact the ITS Help Desk.

Once you have logged in to OneLogin, click on myScholarships app to access and complete the General Scholarship Application.

This application is used for both General & Dual Credit applicants.

Before you begin, below are some helpful tips to review prior to completing the scholarship application. The application will ask you to enter information about yourself that will be used to match you to eligible scholarships. It is important that you answer every question completely.

• Keep Your Information Current with NCTC
  The online application uses information from your admission form. It is important you keep your address and major updated with NCTC to ensure you are considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible. Complete the Records Maintenance Form and submit to Admissions/Registrar’s Office for changes.

• Transcripts
  If you do not have an NCTC GPA, please submit an official high school or college transcript to the NCTC Admissions Office. This will apply to first semester and future students applying for a scholarship. You may also upload an unofficial transcript or GED test scores to the scholarship application. This is recommended if submitting a transcript close to the deadline due to time constraints. You will see Add a New File and click on this in your application to upload the file.  Scholarship applications cannot be sent to reviewers without a GPA.

• Recommendation Requests
  Please request up to 3 recommendations from individuals who know you academically or professionally. You should notify the individuals to expect an email from us. You are responsible for ensuring your reference provider completes this request. This is optional for the General Application but extremely helpful to the Review Committee.  Your reference will be sent an automated email at the email address you provide asking them to provide a recommendation by logging into the online application system as a reference and answering some questions.

• Personal Essay
  You will also be required to submit a personal essay that addresses your educational and career plans and how NCTC can help you achieve them. Please also include any extenuating or unusual circumstances you want the committee to consider. You can type your personal statement directly into the text box in the application, or you can cut and paste your personal essay into the box. The scholarship review committee will not meet you in person so this is your chance to let them know who you are beyond the answers you have provided on your application.

• Add Another Answer
  You will see this under institutional information and recommendation requests within the application. By clicking on this, the system will allow you to add up to 3 institutions you have attended and/or request for recommendations.

• Save and Keep Editing
  You can save your application at any time by clicking Save and Keep Editing at the bottom of the form.

• Finish and Submit
  You can Submit your application once the required fields are completed.

• Update Your Application
  Reviews do not begin until after the deadline date.  If you need to make changes, you can update your application by making the changes and then click Update Your Application to save the changes. The deadline date for changes to be made is April 15th and October 15th.

• Complete the Entire Application
  Every question you answer increases your chance of getting a scholarship.  Some questions are applicable to specific scholarships.

• Proofread, Revise, and Check Your Answers
  Remember that spelling, grammar, and punctuation are considered when scholarship applications are evaluated.

Minimum Qualification is a 2.0 Cumulative GPA.  Opportunities For All Students:

A Review Committee will review the applications submitted. Once selections are made, a notification will be sent to your NCTC Lion Pride email to let you know if you were awarded or not awarded a scholarship. If awarded, there will be additional information in your award notification about the scholarship and instructions on submitting a thank you note to the donor. Notifications will be sent by the end of November for spring awards and end of May for summer and fall awards.
