Nine students from Northland Pioneer College (NPC), were among 77 community college students from around the state who were recognized on Feb. 28, at the State All-Arizona Academic Awards Ceremony in Tempe. The ceremony recognizes the outstanding academic achievements and distinguished leadership of students enrolled in Arizona’s community colleges. To be named to the All-AZ Academic Team, students must demonstrate academic excellence (maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher) and intellectual rigor combined with leadership and service that extends their education beyond the classroom to benefit society.
Phi Theta Kappa, the American Association of Community Colleges, Arizona Community Colleges, the Arizona Board of Regents, and the Follett Higher Education Group help these exceptional students reach their educational goals by awarding scholarships and issuing tuition waivers to any of Arizona’s three state universities: Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University.
