Dear Faculty and Staff,
The 2016-2017 All-USA Community College Academic Team and the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Programs will continue! This means awards of nearly $400,000 in scholarships to outstanding community college students!
Hudson Valley Community College has the opportunity to nominate up to two students to participate in this competition. Last year, Brody O’Connor and Everett McNair were highly successful in this competition.
In addition to recognition by USA TODAY, Follett, and Coca-Cola, nominees to these programs are recognized in All-State Academic Team programs held in 38 states. All-State Team programs may offer students academic scholarships, stipends, newspaper coverage, medallions and/or certificates.
Please encourage students to participate!
The scholarships look to award students with outstanding academic rigor and grade point averages; participation in honors programs; awards, honors, and recognition for academic achievement, and service to the college and community. Letters of recommendations are required.
The focal point of the application is the essay centered around one endeavor undertaken by the student that utilized his or her community college education to improve his or her community or school. Judges look for innovative, creative, original and lasting achievements or undertakings.
