Episode Description

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the latest happenings across campus and beyond in this week’s episode of TigerTalk. President Ford talks about the recent changes to the requirements for receiving the Presidential Scholarship at Northeast. In previous years, an ACT score of 30 was needed to become a Presidential Scholarship recipient. Now, with the updated criteria, students with an ACT score of 28 can receive full benefits of the scholarship. Valued at nearly $20,000 for two full years at one of the nation’s top community colleges, the Presidential Scholarship covers tuition, room and board, and meals during a student’s two years at Northeast (excluding summers). This change is part of Northeast’s ongoing mission to remove barriers to higher education and expand opportunities for incoming students. Along with the Presidential Scholarship adjustment, the Vice President’s Scholarship now requires an ACT score of just 24–27 to cover full tuition — another exciting move to help more students achieve their academic goals. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation’s premier community colleges.
