The NPC Friends & Family foundation has opened a second round of scholarship opportunities to attend Northland Pioneer College, worth an additional $15,500 to assist continuing NPC students enrolling at NPC in Fall 2020. Individual awards range from $500 to over $1,000. Details and full application instructions, including the required cover letter form and tips on writing a strong essay can be found at www.npc.edu/scholarships, using “NPC Friends and Family” in the keyword search line. Scholarships available include the Claude Millet Endfield Early Childhood Education scholarship, the US Military Veterans scholarship, which is designated for veterans, their spouses and dependents, and the NPC Friends and Family Leg Up scholarship, which is for students who do not qualify for federal financial aid. Two nursing scholarships are also being offered. The Summit Healthcare Foundation has once again generously contributed five $1,000 awards, and the newly-established Beehive Homes scholarship, sponsored by Beehive Homes of Snowflake and Mark and Becky Duncan will provide an additional $1,000 to four awardees enrolled in NPC’s nursing program. Applications will be accepted through Monday, May 18. Students are strongly encouraged to review all criteria and application requirements carefully and get their applications in early! All students interested in applying for scholarships must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov prior to submitting their scholarship applications. For more information about the FAFSA, students may contact the NPC Financial Aid office at (928) 524-7418. Since Fall 2014, NPC Friends and Family has awarded over 300 scholarships to NPC students, making a tremendous difference in their pursuit of a post-secondary education. Over 97 percent of awardees have either completed an NPC degree or certificate program, or are still enrolled at the college.
