Our Scholarship Selection Committee (SSC) will schedule personal interviews with Applicants.
They will be held on campus at NPC, each lasting about 30 minutes. Participation in the interview is
mandatory in order to be considered.
If you are selected to receive one of our scholarships: Your current grades and hours will be
obtained from the Financial Aid department and will be reviewed by the SSC; and, since our

the Spring semester scholarship award is provided.
Scholarship awards will occur in mid-June. Recipients will be notified by email and regular postal
delivery mail. Please Note: If you have any change in address, email, telephone numbers, notify me with
that information.
Finally, recipients will receive an invitation to attend a Scholarship Luncheon on Saturday
