Scholarship Details
Because of the generous donations from North Hennepin Community College (NHCC) alumni, former and current NHCC faculty and staff, community members and businesses, over 140 scholarships are available to help NHCC students pursue their college dream.
The NHCC Foundation scholarship application is an easy one-application process that considers new and returning students for scholarships based upon student information and information they provide. Minimum scholarship qualifications are registration in six or more credits and having a minimum 2.0 GPA before the start of both the Fall and Spring semesters.
Awards range from $500 to $5,000.
Disbursement Information
With few exceptions, all scholarships are awarded for the academic year, and split equally for confirmed enrollment in fall and spring semesters. At a minimum, you must register for the required number of credits identified in your scholarship. Awards for enrollment at NHCC are disbursed at the same time as all other aid. Transfer scholarships are disbursed to the transfer institution after the awarded student has submitted registration confirmation to the NHCC Foundation.
If you have additional questions on NHCC Scholarship opportunities, call the Foundation at 763-424-0815.
Questions about all Workforce Scholarships can be directed to Kristi L'Allier at 763-424-0725.
