Scholarships

The program guarantees scholarships and grants to pay for tuition & segregated fees for students whose household adjusted gross income (AGI) is $56,000 or less. Incoming freshmen will receive eight (8) consecutive semesters (4 years) of free tuition & segregated fees and transfer students will receive four (4) semesters (2 years).  You are automatically applying for this scholarship when you submit you application to attend.

We, once again, will be giving a $500 scholarship, with that winner being sent on to the state chapter, and eligible for a $1000 scholarship.  The state winner is then eligible for a $10,000 scholarship from the national chapter of the NWTF.  Deadline is Jan. 1 to Mr Schneider.   The only thing on the application that is NOT needed is the NWTF membership.  Our chapter will pay for our chosen winner’s membership, so that they are eligible for the state scholarship- so that can just be left blank on the application. Someone from TL, Shell Lake, Clayton or Clear Lake will win this.
