The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a donation of $2,449 from Diamond C Trailers. The funds provided scholarships for 28 Titus County students in grades 4-6 to participate in NTCC’s 2022 Kids Discovery College. Diamond C partnered with the NTCC Continuing Education Department and Communities In Schools (CIS) to ensure that money was not an obstacle for students who wanted to experience the two-week educational summer program. The scholarship provided two courses per student with no cost to the family.
