Northland Community & Technical College (NCTC) is proud to announce the spring 2018 NCTC Foundation scholarship recipients. As part of the NCTC Foundation’s mission to enhance the educational experience of students, the Foundation distributes over $150,000 annually in scholarships. Support and generous investments from local businesses and individuals make these scholarship opportunities available to NCTC students. Over 130 scholarships were awarded to students during the spring semester. Award ceremonies were held on both campus locations to honor the recipients. The East Grand Forks (EGF) campus ceremony was held on February 8, 2018 and the Thief River Falls (TRF) ceremony on February 15, 2018.
