39. Norwich University Scholarship Opportunity
Norwich wants to reward those students who are on top of all things college with a special $2,000 “Take the Lead” Scholarship.
Here’s how it works:
Complete an online application for Fall 2019 enrollment. Visit, https://www.norwich.edu/admissions/apply
Send in any required supplemental items (i.e. high school transcript, test scores).
Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and include Norwich University - 00369200.
That’s it! Students that complete these easy steps by December 15, 2018, and are accepted, will earn an additional $2,000 for the next four years. That’s equivalent to $8,000 towards a Norwich education!

The trust fund provides scholarship support to forward the careers of students pursuing degrees in engineering, mathematics, physics, computer science or another related scientific field at the University of Michigan.
The scholarship program is available online and all applications, including essays, will be submitted online.
