NCCC Scholarships Available
High school seniors are eligible for a 2-year - full tuition Distinguished Student Scholarship. Applicants must be graduating from high school in June 2010 with a Regents diploma, a Niagara County resident, plan to attend NCCC full-time, have community service involvement, and remain in the county or plan to return upon graduation.
Additional scholarships are available for part and full-time students, whether they are incoming or currently enrolled in classes. The funds for these scholarships are secured from a variety of sources including donations from local businesses, individuals, foundations, memorial gifts, bequests and revenue from the annual Scholarship Gala which raised more than $100,000 in 2009.
Since its inception in 1987, the NCCC Foundation, Inc. has provided nearly $2 million in scholarship awards to deserving students. “The Foundation has grown significantly from awarding three scholarships in its first year to 200 last year totaling more than $150,000 in awards,” said Jill A. Spira, director of the NCCC Foundation.
