Northmont Education Foundation

The NEF awarded over $48,600 to Northmont graduating seniors in 2024.

These recipients were selected as follows:

• The NEF appoints a selection committee from its trustees.

• All scholarship applications submitted are assigned a number by the HS Guidance office to maintain their anonymity.

• Once completed, the applications are delivered to the scholarship selection committee.

• The committee is comprised of professionals, including retired educators, businessmen and women, and individuals from the Northmont community. Most of our committee members have served many years and have a great deal of experience in our process.

• The applications are screened to make sure all scholarship criteria are met. They are then reviewed for content and ranked by the committee.

• Students who are selected are contacted via regular mail.

• Their scholarship is awarded to them on Senior Recognition night in May.

​

Congratulations to all our 2024 scholarship recipients!
