The NMC Adopt-A-Student fund began in 1992 with faculty and staff representatives Hettie Molvang and Adam Gahn. \u00a0The fund was established as part of the Annual Campaign as an opportunity for faculty and staff to help struggling students overcome some of the financial obstacles that often stand in the way of higher education.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our generous faculty, staff and community, 687 students have received assistance in the amount of a half million dollars over the last 20 years through the Adopt-A-Student Fund. \u00a0The following quote is from one of our Adopt-A-Student scholarship receipents.<\/p>\n

Your gift allows me to keep more my paycheck at a time when one textbook costs $231 and a math calculator $130. \u00a0By retaining more of my earnings I am able to weather increased fuel costs to commute to campus, pick up the occasional prescription that my mother can’t afford or just supplement our household food budget. \u00a0Like a lot of students and staff that I’ve met since returning to NMC, everyone has a story, everyone has a challenge to carry through life and mine is not different. \u00a0What is different is the occasional kindness we receive along the way. \u00a0Thank you for your donation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Annual Campaign is drawing near and we at the NMC Foundation and Resource Development are looking forward to helping you make student dreams a reality.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n
