A student is considered “sponsored” when a company recruits or is matched with a prospective or current NCK Tech student who shows potential and interest as a future employee of the company.

There are many scholarship opportunities NCK Tech students frequently receive through community or state agencies, as well as business and industry. Review information and links to various websites where students can apply for outside scholarships.
