Faculty, your help is needed identifying students for the team and this great scholarship opportunity!

The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, and USA TODAY are once again sponsoring an All-USA Community College Academic Team. This competition will reward 60 outstanding students nationwide based on their academic achievements, leadership abilities and honors. This award is specifically for students of two-year community, junior and technical colleges.

Among the many benefits is a $2,500 cash award to each of the 20 First Team members. The highest scoring nominee from each state will be named a New Century Scholar and receive $2,000 from the Coca-Cola Foundation. There will be photos and stories published…trophies and medallions received…convention honors, etc.
