College tuition funds for high school students
|
Posted on Jan 14 2009
Current high school students who want to get a head start on their college education can now enroll at the Northern Marianas College and even have their tuition wholly funded.
The funding is made available through the College Access Challenge Project, which aims to increase college enrollment and retention among the CNMI’s public high school graduates. The project will be awarding direct financial aid in the form of need-based grants and tuition and fees assistance to qualified participants.
To determine if they are qualified for the program, high school students are advised to contact Lulu Wang or Zenaida Javier at the NMC Counseling Office (234-5498 Ext. 1341).
In addition to providing financial assistance, the College Access Challenge project will also help provide academic support services, which will include tutoring, personal counseling, and a variety of educational activities and workshops to prepare students for success in college.
Registration for the Northern Marianas College’s Spring 2009 Semester is ongoing until Jan. 17, 2009. Application for admissions will be accepted until the last day of registration.
For more information about admissions, call the Office of Admissions and Records at 234-5498 ext 1537 or log on to www.nmcnet.edu.[B][I] (NMC)[/I][/B]
