Northeast State Community College recently earned a $10,000 Lumina Foundation Grant Award from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
SACSCOC President Dr. Belle S. Wheelan said the grant would advance the college’s work to recognize nontraditional educational experiences as building blocks toward traditional postsecondary degrees and other credentials. More than 700 SACSCOC member institutions were invited to apply for the grant, but only 10 received the award.
“To be one of the recipients of this award from SACSCOC is an honor,” said Northeast State President James D. King. “We are already awarding credit for qualifying nontraditional educational experiences, but the grant dollars will help the college expand opportunities for more students to graduate in less time with a high-quality degree or credential.”
Located in Decatur, Georgia, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges is the recognized regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in U.S. Southern states, Latin America and Dubai, Saudi Arabia that award associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degrees.
