LeBlanc of Haverhill (father of NECC professor Joseph LeBlanc), the Bette Brown Memorial Scholarship in memory of Bette Brown a former staff member at the college, and the Jack Wysong Memorial Alumni Scholarship.\u00a0 Professor Wysong, a longtime resident of Newburyport, was a member of the first graduating class of Northern Essex and returned to the college as a full time faculty member and administrator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Establishing a scholarship can be a very appropriate way of honoring an individual,&#8221; said Poth.\u00a0 &#8220;A scholarship also is a very effective way of giving back to the community since the great majority of our students are from the Merrimack Valley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To establish a permanent endowed scholarship, donors must make a minimum pledge of $10,000.\u00a0 For more information, contact Poth at 978 556-3624 or <a href=\"mailto:jpoth@necc.mass.edu\">jpoth@necc.mass.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2011\/08\/Scholarship-Recipients-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">View list of scholarship recipients &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 200 Northern Essex Community College students will receive over $169,000 in scholarships for the 2011\/2012 academic year. &#8220;Our students are deeply appreciative of the many generous individuals and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":31105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
