The Nicolet College Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications for the 2026-27 academic year and encourages those planning to attend Nicolet College to apply. 

Scholarship applications will be accepted online February 2 to March 2, and awarded scholarships will be available for use in the fall, spring and summer terms during the 2026-27 academic year.  

Scholarship awards range from $250 to $10,000 and funding can help pay for tuition and books. Any current or future Nicolet College student who is enrolled or will be enrolled in at least three credits per term and has a cumulative grade point average of a 2.0 or higher is eligible to apply. 

High school seniors who plan to attend Nicolet College in the fall are also encouraged to apply for scholarships. 

“Scholarships made available through the Nicolet College Foundation have supported countless students over the years,” said Heather Schallock, Executive Director of the Nicolet College Foundation. “Our goal is to continue providing opportunities for current and future students to achieve their academic and personal dreams.” 

Prior scholarship recipients expressed gratitude for the support. “I applied for scholarships every single semester. It helped me tremendously to have that weight lifted off me and purse my studies fully,” said Emma Edinger, who graduated last year.

Students interested in applying for scholarships can visit nicoletcollege.edu/foundation to apply online. If students need help with their application, they can attend Nicolet College’s Scholarship Workshop on Tuesday, February 17.  The workshop will run from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Lakeside Center at Nicolet College, and students can drop in at any time.
