$30,000 IN PRIZES AWARDED FOR STUDENT VACCINATIONS

Two frontline adult learners got another boost toward their college goals last fall—a semester’s worth of tuition in NMC’s Big Win giveaway.

NMC awarded $30,000 in tuition, housing and bookstore gift certificates as an incentive to students to get vaccinated against COVID-19. More than 900 students entered.
