NHCTC Spring Scholarships and Awards Reception
The New Hampshire Community College at Berlin (NHCTC) recently held its annual Spring Awards Reception and a large number of NHCTC students received recognition for their
academic achievement and athletic contributions to the college. Almost $18,000 and numerous awards were presented to over 25 students who are continuing their education at

Many of the scholarships that are given out are made possible by the generosity of local organizations and individuals. Prior to the announcement of the scholarships and awards
