Scholarship Information

NSHS provides a one to two year college scholarship for students while they attend the school. Students are guided to become personally responsible as they transition into college. NSHS provides students with knowledge that helps them find and use the resources to fund their college education after our program.

Searching for scholarship information is a lot of time and energy. NSHS provides a pathway for scholarship research, but ultimately students who take personal responsibility to work and find scholarship information will benefit the most. The following information is a list of ways to keep up and find scholarship information.

Internet Searching

Other schools have scholarship information posted on their websites for anyone to access, and many scholarship organizations have scholarship information posted on their websites as well. Look at high school websites from around the US to see what scholarship resources they are providing their students and use it.

College Admissions Office

Colleges often have scholarships for students who attend their schools. Check with Admissions or the Scholarship or Financial Aid Office of the institution you are looking into and ask about the scholarships they offer their students.
