Current Students
1. NOBTS Current Student Scholarships (if you are a prospective student, click this link to learn about scholarship options for your first semester)
The application for Spring 2012 Current Student Scholarships expired at the end of September. The application for Fall 2012 scholarships will be available during April.
NOBTS provides an application process each semester for current students seeking need-based scholarships to help offset the cost of tuition. Our philosophy for awarding scholarships is to help the greatest number of students possible who demonstrate financial need.
---Qualifications- Current or returning students must complete the online grant application in September for the Spring semester and in April for the Fall semester. The application will only be available during these months.
- A student must maintain full-time status during the entire semester of the award. Full-time for main campus students is 12 hours for undergraduates, 9 hours for Masters level, and doctoral students must be currently enrolled in the program. Extension center students must be taking at least two classes at the extension center to be considered full-time. Full-time status for Financial Aid purposes only includes on campus, Saturday, and hybrid classes. Internet courses, independent studies, and workshops DO NOT count toward full-time status.
*Extension Center Students- Please keep in mind that 2 courses is the full-time requirement for NOBTS Financial Aid purposes; your insurance and/or student loan company may require you to have more hours to achieve full-time status for their purposes. Please check with your insurance agent or loan provider if you have additional questions about meeting their requirements for full-time status.
- A student must not have a past due balance on his or her NOBTS account.
- A student must return appropriate Thank-You notes to the Financial Aid Office; details are provided in the award email.
---Award Notification
It takes several months after receiving the applications to process the scholarship awards. Fall semester recipients are notified in July and Spring semester recipients are notified in December.
2. NOBTS Music Scholarships
Music students should contact the Church Music Division (504-282-4455 ext. 3226) to learn about possible music-related scholarships offered through NOBTS. Some Music Scholarship are processed as part of the Current Student Scholarship mentioned above, so music students with financial need should complete the Current Student Scholarship each semester.
