Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries

It is important to have a plan in place to help fund your education. At NSAC we understand that earning a diploma or degree can be an expensive venture, and we've established an excellent program to assist you achieving your goal. Each year, we distribute more than $750 000 to our student body of 750 students. One in three of our students is a recipient of a scholarship, award or bursary. Many scholarships are based on academic marks, while others are based on experience, career goals, personal interests, geographic origin, or contribution to campus through athletics or other involvements.
