Scholarship

NMC promotes the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that all students need to function effectively in a changing world through outstanding academic programs recognized for their regional and national level competencies. NMC is committed to helping students acquire the ability to communicate effectively, to think critically, and to be aware of diversity in our world. The scholarship criterion measures the effectiveness of how well NMC prepares students for success in the workplace related to their chosen field and the extent to which NMC provides credible transfer and articulation programs for those students who choose to continue their education at other colleges and universities. Furthermore, in support of our open access philosophy, NMC encourages the academic success of under-prepared college students in their pursuit of basic educational skills and abilities.
