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 2025 Scholarship Luncheon will be held Wednesday, April 16th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
