An applicant needs to submit only one application form and he or she will be considered for any of our scholarships for which they meet the requirements. If selected a student can only receive one scholarship, even though he or she meets the requirements for several of the scholarships we offer. Students must submit a complete application package in order to be considered for a scholarship. Mailed application packages, including official transcripts, must be postmarked by February 28, 2017 and addressed to: DCNNOA Scholarship Program, P. O.

All candidates will be considered for the general scholarships that are not dedicated to a particular subject matter. Each applicant will be notified in writing about our committee’s decision.
