Pittsburg students earn national honors scholarship

Submitted by Pittsburg1 on
Northeast Texas Community College was the only community college in the nation to have two students selected as 2014 Phi Theta Kappa Guistwhite Scholarship recipients. Noah Griffin and Matthew Jordan, both of Pittsburg, were among the 20 students who received the honor this year. 
They will be recognized and invited to a special reception during Phi Theta Kappa’s Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, April 24-26. Each year $100,000 in scholarship funds are awarded, with each Guistwhite Scholar receiving a $5,000 scholarship for baccalaureate studies and a commemorative medallion.
“I am so delighted to see these two deserving young men be honored with this award. They are both Presidential Scholars here within NTCC’s Honors Program.  The Guistwhite recognizes their academic prowess, leadership skills and active involvement within the community and the society,” Dr. Melissa Weinbrenner, NTCC Phi Theta Kappa advisor, said.
