Twenty-seven local 2015 high school graduates were accepted to Northern Essex Community College’s Presidential Scholars Program, an honors program devoted to high academic achievement. The 16-year-old program is designed to reward motivated high school students who will be attending NECC.
“Most plan to transfer to a four-year college or university after getting an associate’s degree from Northern Essex.” said Lane Glenn, president of NECC.
Admission to the program includes a $1,000 scholarship, which is renewable provided the recipient maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher while attending NECC. Accepted students also receive a staff or faculty mentor who acts as an academic resource throughout the student’s time on campus.
This year’s Presidential Scholars include students from Haverhill, Lawrence, Methuen, Plaistow, N.H., and other surroundings town and cities. For more information on the NECC Presidential Scholars Program, please contact Lindsay Graham at scholarships@necc.mass.edu or at (978) 556-3629.
