Northwest Technology Center Foundation Student Scholarships

Each year a portion of the monies raised by the Foundation will go to support scholarships for deserving students. This financial assistance may include books, tuition, and other educational costs. The Foundation Scholarship committee assists in the establishment of scholarships and the selection of the recipients.

Adults only may apply for the Fall NWTC Foundation Scholarships. High school juniors or seniors and adults may apply for the Spring NWTC Foundation Scholarships.  To claim the scholarship, students will be required to show that they are incurring some type of educational expense for either the current semester or next summer or fall.

Students may download the NWTC Foundation Scholarship application –  NWTC Foundation Scholarship Application 2024.

The NWTC Foundation Scholarships for the Spring Semester are due  February 10, 2025.

Some expenses that may be included in the calculation of need includes:

• Tuition and Fees – NWTC Tuition and Fees for each program may be found at https://nwtech.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NWTC_COA2425.Updated.6.11.2024.pdf. If you are a full time student divide the cost listed in half because you just want the cost of one semester.  If you are a half day student divide the cost by 4 because you will have 4 semesters training for half day to complete.
• Mileage – The current standard mileage reimbursement rate is $0.67 per mile. To calculate the expected mileage cost for the Spring 2025 semester, take the total number of miles from your house to NWTC (1801 11th Street, Alva) and multiple times 2 for both to and from school and multiply by $0.67 times 90 days (number of days in Fall semester).
• Industry certifications and licenses may be additional costs. Your instructor can tell you if you will have additional costs for certifications and licenses this semester.
• Clothings, tools, etc. – If you have to purchase certain clothing, shoes, tools, etc for your program you may submit that cost; however, be sure you can include a receipt with the exact cost required for your program.
