NBT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

 
We are so proud of the hard work and determination of our local high school graduates and want to encourage them to continue their education after high school.  One way NBT encourages and supports our graduates, is by awarding scholarships to deserving students who seek to continue their education after high school.
