The student must be in good standing with no payments past due and meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress.
NCAD will add $1,000 to any money donated into the fund by the last business day of April each year. A tuition waiver will be awarded to the winner for their 9th semester.
* $500 Sydnee Cummings Memorial Scholarships For Current NCAD Students After First Semester
Sydnee Cummings was a talented and enthusiastic student from Milton, WA who was killed tragically in a car accident on her way home from work March 14, 2011. Though her time at NCAD was short, Sydnee showed the promise to become a professional graphic designer and photographer. She was an active, fun, and likeable person who loved her parents and really enjoyed school and her classmates. To honor Sydnee, the NCAD Continuing scholarship offered each semester to eligible upperclassmen has been renamed to memorialize Sydnee’s life.
Sydnee Cummings Memorial scholarships are open to full time students currently enrolled at NCAD. Two scholarships per academic level may be awarded each semester. Applicants must meet all scholarship requirements listed on the current scholarship application.
*Careers That Work!
Northwest College of Art & Design is a participating college of the Careers That Work! program. Each year, every high school in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (public and private) are given five $1,000 tuition scholarships to award to graduating students headed to one of the participating career colleges. Seniors awarded the Careers That Work! by their high school are not restricted to colleges within their home state. That means seniors graduating in Idaho, Oregon or Washington may be awarded the scholarship for attendance at any participating private career college in any of those three states. Scholarship recipients are identified and awarded by the high school.
