Our Opportunities
North Central College Scholarship Opportunities currently available for the 2025-26 academic year are listed below. These scholarships are offered only to North Central students through the following application process:
- To submit an application for an opportunity listed, please first sign in and complete the General Application. Once the General Application has been submitted, qualified applicants will automatically be considered for several of the opportunities as indicated in the scholarship descriptions.
- After completing the General Application, you will also have access to submit additional applications for any of the specific opportunities that require more information, such as an essay or letter of recommendation.
- Applications for scholarships may only be submitted when the applications are open. Once the deadline passes, the application will no longer be available for the current scholarship cycle.
- Please make sure your application is submitted by the deadline date. (Applications close at 11:59 PM on the deadline date.) Only applications in a submitted status and from qualified applicants will be sent to the scholarship review committees for award consideration.
This portal also offers external scholarship opportunities and resource websites. The list is updated frequently throughout the scholarship cycle and may be viewed by selecting Opportunities/External from the drop down menu above.
