The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation is pleased to announce that seven NTCC employees have been awarded funds through the 2023 Whatley Employee Enhancement Grant. The Foundation received 13 outstanding applications. A total of $16,470 was awarded through the grant.

Each year, NTCC full-time employees may apply for the available funding. Projects are reviewed and selected by the volunteer members of the Whatley Employee Enhancement Committee.
