Hamilton Wins All-Arizona Academic Team Scholarship

2015 Jan 13

Northland Pioneer College (NPC) has selected Moira Hamilton, to be a part of NPC's 2015 All-Arizona Academic Team which awards full tuition waivers to students wanting to complete their bachelor's degrees at one of Arizona three public universities.

Hamilton is one of only thirteen NPC students to be awarded this scholarship valued at over $17,000! The tuition waivers are awarded by the Arizona Board of Regents to encourage the state's top scholars to finish their education. Team members will also receive an additional scholarship from NPC.

For the first time in the All-Arizona Academic Team's 20-year history, NPC had more applicants than available nominations. NPC can only nominate two students from each campus and center location to the All-Arizona team. To qualify, a student must have taken a class at or originating from that location to be considered for one of the two nominations, have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and a history of volunteerism at any NPC campus or in their communities.

This year's NPC nominees will be honored at a luncheon on Wednesday, Feb. 18, in Mesa, along with over 60 other top scholars from the state's other community colleges. Northland Pioneer College is proud to have Hamilton as an NPC All-Arizona Academic Team member representing the best community college students from northeastern AZ.
