Deadline to apply for NCSC scholarships is March 1

MANSFIELD — The North Central State College (NCSC) Foundation is accepting online scholarship applications through March 1. Students are invited to complete one online application to be considered for all NCSC Foundation scholarships. Scholarship recipients will be notified of their awards in April 2023.

The online application is available at northcentralstatecollege.wufoo.com/forms/x1wia5c107z5tz9/.

This past year the NCSC Foundation provided over $300,000 in scholarships to deserving candidates. Scholarships help offset the cost of college for hundreds of area students working to meet their education and career goals. Students are asked to submit a FAFSA before completing their scholarship application.

If you have a scholarship question, please contact Chris Copper at ccopper2@ncstatecollege.edu, Leah Bisel at lbisel@ncstatecollege.edu, or call 419-755-4526.

Winter heating assistance still available

Ohio Heartland Community Action Commission, which serves Crawford, Marion and Morrow counties, is accepting applications for the 2022-23 Winter Crisis Program (WCP) that runs through March 31, 2023. The Winter Crisis Program (HEAP) is a heating assistance program that may provide a one-time payment toward a utility and/or bulk fuel service for those meeting the program eligibility requirements.

All income eligible applicants must call the automated appointment hotline for their 2022-2023 WCP appointment at 419-718-0047 or you can go online and schedule at app.capappointments.com. This line may be busy at peak times as it covers three counties.

OHCAC has a morning call-in policy. Customers who are shut off currently need to call their local county CAC Office. The policy is as follows: (1) electric or gas customers must be in a shut off situation (2) bulk fuel, wood, coal or heating oil customers must have less than 25% of the fuel source on hand. Call-In customers will be served daily in the mornings, meeting the 2023 WCP guidelines with all required documentation.

Eligible applicant’s total household income must be at or below 175% of the 2022 Federal Poverty Guidelines. For a family of four, this would be an annual income of $48,562.50.
