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.
