Dr. Jonathan McCullough (right), NTCC Vice President for Advancement, accepts the gift on behalf of the NTCC Foundation.These funds will provide two $1,000 scholarships for criminal justice or police academy students attending NTCC this fall.†The scholarship was established in memory of Robert Arellano, a respected and decorated law enforcement officer and motorcycle enthusiast who served the community for several years. Arellano was killed in an accident about two years ago while riding back from a dinner ride with some friends. Friends and family have created the ?Robert Arellano Dawg Fest? rally in his memory to help raise funds for his scholarship, as well as a local charity helping children in need. For more information about Dawg Fest, visit www.dawgfestrally.com. To learn more about his or other scholarships at NTCC, contact McCullough at 903-434-8115.
