Need Tuition Assistance? Apply for the Leo Frigo Memorial Scholarship!
School can be expensive. The Leo Frigo Memorial Scholarship is available to eligible NWTC students to help with tuition costs. Scholarship award amounts vary each term based on student need. A committee will make the final decision on a student’s award.
To be eligible to apply, students must meet income guidelines and use (or be willing to use) Paul’s Pantry on a consistent basis.
Complete the qualification assessment to see if you are eligible to apply.
If approved to apply for the scholarship, you will:
- Meet with Gema Garcia to complete an application. During this meeting, an assessment of the student’s monthly income, expenses, financial aid package, and other community resources will be completed to determine need.
- Meet with Jenna Robbins to register and use Paul’s Pantry.
Once both items above are completed, the scholarship committee will decide whether the student is eligible to receive a scholarship.
Eligible students may re-apply for funding each term; however, funding is not guaranteed.
