Next Step Scholarships

Northwest Tech’s Next Step Scholarship waives the tuition for day Career Programs.  Scholarship recipients are required to pay fees for that program.

The Next Step Scholarship is designed for individuals under age 24 who have a high school diploma or GED and are living in one of the sending school districts.  A scholarship recipient who turns 24 during the academic year will be able to finish the remainder of that academic year tuition-free.  For all subsequent career programs, the student will be required to pay tuition.  The student will still be able to apply for financial aid.

For more information on scholarships, please contact Karen Koehn at the Alva Campus at 580.327.0344 or Patty Lovell at the Fairview Campus at 580.227.3708.
