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
