Nominations open for Foundation awards

The North Central Texas College Foundation is now accepting nominations for special awards that will be presented at the annual NCTC Foundation Gala in April.

The F.M Hemphill Distinguished Alumni Award is the highest honor that can be granted to graduates and former students of North Central Texas College by the NCTC Foundation.

This award was established over 25 years ago in honor of the college’s distinguished president of the class of 1926, its first graduating class ever. Dr. Hemphill went on to distinguish himself in the fields of both higher education and public health.

 “The distinguished alumni award is the highest form of tribute given by our NCTC Foundation to graduates and former students who have achieved distinction in their chosen field and have shown exceptional leadership qualities,” said Debbie Sharp, Vice Chancellor of External Affairs for NCTC.

Nominations are also being accepted for The Ed Wright Community Service Award.

The NCTC Alumni Association established the NCTC Ed Wright Community Service Award to recognize individuals, organizations and/or businesses for meritorious service to the College and/or the community.

Nomination forms can be filled out at nctc.edu/foundation. The deadline for nominations is January 12.

This year’s NCTC Foundation Gala will be held on Saturday, April 6 at the WinStar Convention Center.
