Cade Alan Bennett, a NTCC sophomore, District III Phi Theta Kappa Vice President, and former Cypress Bank Scholar, is the winner of the 2021-22 Gladys Winkle Humanities/Honors scholarship.

She and her husband, James, gave over 2.6 million dollars to NTCC between the years, 1985 and 2016.
Davin Whatley, a student at Northeast Texas Community College in Texas, has been named the 2021 Dr. Mary Hood Texas Region Scholar and will receive a $1,500 scholarship.
