Fast Facts - The ANC Advantage
A College Education for Every
Child in Mississippi County...
With a commitment to the educational needs of the citizens in its service area,
the Arkansas Northeastern College Foundation has embarked upon a quest to
fulfill an important "promise" to area students. A promise that says, "If
you want a college education...You can have one! Stay in school, stay out
of trouble, work hard, earn your high school diploma, and there will be money to
cover your full tuition and mandatory fees to Arkansas Northeastern College."
"The
Great River Promise is one of the most exciting things to happen to this region.
It will allow us the opportunity to fill the financial gaps through which many
of our prospective students fall. All students who meet the "Promise"
criteria will have a college education available to them."- Dr. Robert Myers, President
Arkansas Northeastern College
