Annually in April we gather students and donors to celebrate a gift that keeps on giving - the gift of fulfilling dreams - scholarships.

Students aspire to attend Northeast Community College, but many times - through no fault of their own – they run into roadblocks in achieving their dreams.

Factors such as family and job commitments often prevent these students from having the financial resources necessary to attain their degree or degrees to be successful in life. However, donors help make those dreams come true.

The 2026 Scholarship Luncheon will be held Thursday, April 30th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Livestream | April 30, 2026 | 12 pm
