Outside Scholarships

There are numerous scholarship opportunities for students. In addition to the Nicolet College Foundation, students can apply for scholarships from civic organizations, churches, employers, parent(s) employers, and scholarship databases.

Fastweb Scholarship Database  is a reliable source for scholarship opportunities. Be safe when applying for scholarships! Do not apply for any scholarship that requires a deposit or cash payment of any kind.

If you receive an outside scholarship, be sure to let the financial aid office know so that those funds are reflected in your financial aid.
