2025 Spring 6 on Us and Opportunity Scholarships

Welcome to the scholarship application for the "6 on Us" & "Opportunity" Scholarship programs!

6 on Us Scholarship

The “6 on Us’’ is a grant-supported scholarship program that allows new students (or returning students that have stepped away from college at least 3 years) to take up to 6 credits for FREE. Typically, 6 college credits at North Country cost students $1,250 to $1,500 so we’ve removed this barrier so you can try out a few classes on the house.

This particular scholarship program is geared towards our non-traditional age student population. To qualify, you must:

Be a new student to college or returning to college after having stepped away for at least 3 years.
Be at least 22 years of age by the first day of Spring 2025 semester classes.
Submit your FAFSA and New York State TAP applications in order for us to determine your financial need.

Opportunity Scholarship

The “Opportunity Scholarship’’ is a donor-supported scholarship program provided by our own NCCC Foundation that provides scholarship opportunities for full and part-time students that do not qualify for the Essex, Franklin, Hodson, or "6 on Us" scholarship programs. Award amounts range from $500 for part-time study (6 credits or more) up to $1000 for full-time study (12 credits or more).

Please select the scholarship program that fits you best, please note that your selection may be adjusted during scholarship eligibility review.
