ENDOWMENTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
 

Along with the Foundation Board, several charitable organizations have helped to offer many different scholarships and endowed professorships to Nunez Community College.  Listed below are just a few examples of these endowments currently awarded to the college.



The Excellence in Teaching Award

The Nunez Community College Excellence in Teaching Award is a stipend awarded annually to a professor who has shown a commitment to the college by going above and beyond the call of duty to provide his or her students with the best possible instructional environment.  Professors are nominated by their fellow faculty members, and the winner is selected by a committee headed by the previous year's Excellence in Teaching Award recipient.
