Scholarships

On July 17, 1857, a gift from J. Newton Perkins endowed the first award at Norwich Free Academy, beginning the long tradition of annual recognition of the achievements of our students.

Today, the NFA Foundation, Inc. scholarship program has grown to more than 500 endowed and annual awards. Students are recognized for academic, artistic, and athletic excellence, as well as citizenship, character, sportsmanship, and integrity. Because of the generosity of our donors, the NFA Foundation has awarded over $1.4 million to NFA students over the past three years alone.

Only Norwich Free Academy students are eligible for NFA Foundation scholarships. 

To be considered for NFA Foundation scholarships, students must complete a General Scholarship Application.

The application period was open from January 12 through April 14, 2024.
