Frequently Asked Questions
Scholarships are established by individuals who care deeply about Northland Community & Technical College and its students. Some donors are Northland alumni who were themselves beneficiaries of student aid. There are two types of scholarships: Endowed and Annual.
Selection is based on a student’s match with a scholarship’s criteria.
- We ask that our scholarship students connect with the donors who sponsor their scholarships each year. One option is to write a thank-you card to your scholarship donor.
- Additionally, we host a Scholarship Celebration for students and donors. All scholarship recipients, as well as donors, are invited to this event. We expect that scholarship recipients will attend this event.
- There may be additional opportunities to meet your donor. For example, if your donor comes to campus, we may reach out to set up an in-person meeting for lunch or coffee. Also, we may ask you to share a testimony about the impact of scholarship support at Northland for marketing materials.
No problem. The Academic Success Center has tutors available to assist you.
