Scholarships at NWTC

Why apply for NWTC scholarships?

Scholarships provide an excellent way to fund tuition, books and other educational expenses. Whether you are a high school student or a new or continuing student at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, full or part-time, you can reduce your financial obligations by applying for scholarships available through the NWTC Foundation or other organizations. Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate financial need, initiative, the desire and potential to succeed, and show academic progress.

Scholarship Banquet

The NWTC Foundation awards over $100,000 in scholarships each year to students taking classes through NWTC campuses in Green Bay, Marinette, Sturgeon Bay and the five regional learning centers located throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Scholarships are applied to tuition, fees, books and other course related expenses. Scholarships can replace personal payments or financial aid payments which could result in a refund of such payments for your living expenses.
