By: Dr. Andrew Yox, Honors Director
In her first year at NTCC, Neida Perez became a standout among standouts. As a top-ranked Presidential Scholar, she has earned this fall one of the two most lucrative foundation scholarships granted through the college’s honors program. She will be the college’s James and Elizabeth Whatley Scholar for 2023-24.
This scholarship came into being as part of a record-breaking 1.7 million-dollar gift to Northeast Texas Community College in 2007 by the Whatley family.
