NOC Fall scholarship deadline August 25, scholarships still available
Northern Oklahoma College is continuing to accept scholarship applications for Fall 2026.
The Presidential Leadership Scholarship, the NOC/OSU Gateway Ambassadors Scholarship and the State Regents Oklahoma Rising Scholarship application deadline is closed but other fall scholarships are available.
To apply, simply apply for admission to NOC, apply for financial aid and then fill out the scholarship form online.
For the FY 2026-2027 academic year, the college will provide nearly $3.5 million in waivers and scholarship support to our students, which is 13.3% of our operational budget. These waivers and scholarships continue to assist our students with academic accomplishments and participation in college activities.
Additionally, the NOC Foundation has invested $1.5 million in private scholarships for this fiscal year. Some previously un-funded and under-funded programs will see an increase as a result of an infusion of funds, The Foundation has also been working with our private donors to increase not only the number of scholarship awards given but also increase the dollar amount awarded. The Foundation’s goal is to maximize the financial assistance provided to each student through private awards, thus reducing any out-of-pocket expenses.
According to Sheri Snyder, Vice President for Development and Community Relations, “We are excited to provide a combined total of $5 million in scholarship support this year. There are some institutional scholarships along with numerous private scholarships through the NOC Foundation still available. Scholarships will be awarded to qualified applicants on a first come, first serve basis through August 25 for the fall semester. We encourage everyone to apply.”
To be considered for scholarships, applicants are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov (Northern’s Title IV Institutional Code is 003162) within 30 days of accepting a scholarship award.
