Graders Begin College
Approximately
70 Jackson County 7th graders experienced their first
day of college recently when they were inducted into
the New Century Scholars program during a ceremony at
Southwestern Community College. Students were selected
for their effort in the classroom, good behavior and
character, positive attitude and desire for education
and potential success in college. New Century Scholars
will provide last-dollar college tuition for the students
when they complete their contract and graduate from
high school. NCS students may enroll in SCC to work
toward an associate degree and can go on to enroll at
Western Carolina University to work toward a bachelor’s
degree. The program is funded from local businesses,
individuals, clubs, organizations and fundraisers.
