Honors Northeast is now accepting applications for the 2022-23 school year. 1 March is the deadline for obtaining an optimal scholarship. The program confers institutional and private scholarships, as well as many other amenities. Over half of the students in the program earn as they learn. Scholarships outrace the costs of matriculation.
Honors Director, Dr. Andrew Yox notes that “higher education is neither a race, nor a game but an acquisition of assets. Honors at NTCC with its emphasis on interdisciplinary seminars and mentored research can provide a well-rounded skill set, and accolade pathways that are unknown to most university undergraduates. Graduates of Honors Northeast have won full-rides to every major Texas university. Graduates optimize the networks of being an Aggie or Longhorn, but also the excellent patron, professorial, alumni and peer networks of Honors at NTCC. The recommendations of NTCC honors professors, that in some of the more hard-fought scholarship prizes can run up to fifteen pages, have helped support over fifty national award-winning students since 2010, and ten winners of the $150,000 Jack Kent Cooke transfer scholarship.”
Talented public high school students, high school seniors, homeschoolers in transition, and parents are welcome to contact Dr. Andrew P. Yox, Honors Director, at 903-434-8229 or ayox@ntcc.edu, and/or apply through the honors website: <www.ntcc.edu/honors>.
