FLAGSTAFF — Coconino Community College in Page will be rolling out the red carpet, complete with food, on Friday, Dec. 15 for people who want to “get the scoop” on what the College has to offer.
“This event is designed for everyone who ever wondered about CCC Page,” said Jim Hunter, Director of CCC Page. “Come ‘get the scoop’ literally! We want current and prospective students to come enjoy scoops of chili and ice cream while they learn about great course options, financial aid, scholarships and CCC services.”
Featured at the event will be CCC Science Instructors Dr. Aaron Tabor and Andrew Allen, who will be talking about their new “hybrid” courses in Chemistry, Biology and Math they will be teaching every other Friday at CCC Page beginning in January. The courses are guaranteed to take place.
The event, which is from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., will offer detailed information on financial aid and scholarship opportunities, including a $750 Spring to Success scholarship that will be awarded to a CCC student in the Page service area for the spring term. Also on hand will be Lori Edwards, Director of Nursing and Allied Health, who will be answering questions about the Nursing program and the application process. There will also be a “Truth Serum Session” about college readiness, workforce skills, life skills and college costs.
Information will be provided as well on the TRiO program for first-generation, low-income and disabled students; the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society; and the CCC2NAU program that makes it easier for students to transition from CCC to finish work toward a bachelor’s degree.
A canned-food drive is also on the agenda, so bring at least one canned-food item and receive some CCC merchandise. Finally, there will also be a Scoop Sheet Scavenger Hunt with loads of prizes.
Scholarship applications are available online at www.coconino.edu, or at CCC Page. Completed applications and essays for the Spring to Success scholarship must be submitted at the Get the Scoop event.
