Current Students
Through the Financial Aid Office, NOBTS offers need-based scholarships to current students each semester. The purpose of the NOBTS scholarships is 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.
