The Whatley Center at Northeast Texas Community college announced this week that it will postpone its spring 2021 reopening to march. Initial plans were to resume with limited-capacity events beginning in January. Due to the continued rise of COVID-19 cases in the area, the season has been tentatively pushed back until March.
The NTCC Foundation is happy to announce that nine NTCC employees have been awarded funds through the 2020- 2021 Whatley Employee Enhancement Grant. The Foundation received 15 outstanding applications. Six were funded by the grant and three received private donations. The total for all funded projects was $11,500. The Whatley Employee Enhancement Grant was established by James & Elizabeth Whatley specifically to fund special projects and enhance educational opportunities that fall outside the institution’s regular budget. Each year, NTCC full-time employees may apply for the approximately $8,500 available. Projects are reviewed and selected by the volunteer members of the Whatley Employee Enhancement Committee.
The NTCC Foundation has more than 300 scholarships available for the 2021- 2022 academic year. The scholarships are not directly tied to FAFSA eligibility, so you may receive a scholarship even if you don’t qualify for PELL grants. What’s the catch? You have to apply!.
