Applying to use your Hathaway Scholarship at NWC is easy! Follow this process and timeline:
- Apply for admission early in your senior year and supply a current copy of your high school transcript and ACT, SAT, or WorkKeys score and if you are eligible Northwest College's Hathaway Scholarship Technician will award you a provisional Hathaway amount.
- Students must apply within four years of high school graduation or receiving their GED/HiSET/TASC (High School Equivalency Certificate Test)and initiate the scholarship by the following fall. Home-school students must apply prior to their 21st birthday.
- Once NWC receives your final high school transcript and any new test scores the Hathaway Tech will inform you of your final Hathaway Scholarship award amount.
- To see if you qualify for the Need Based Hathaway Scholarship the FAFSA is required. When your FAFSA information is received, the Hathaway Scholarship Tech will determine if you have eligibility for the Need Based Hathaway Scholarship.
- Hathaway awards are dependent on final high school GPA/GED/HiSET/TASC, ACT/SAT, or WorkKeys scores and curriculum requirements.
