SCHOLARSHIPS ::
The ANC Foundation directly helps students through a large pool of privately funded scholarships. Currently the ANC Foundation has over $500,000 in endowed scholarship funds as well as many annually funded scholarships. Because many students' problems have financial implications, the Foundation works closely with the Financial Aid Office and the Admissions Office to help students remedy these problems. Hundreds of students are helped each year through ANC Foundation scholarships.
FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS
The ANC Foundation (a private, 501 C-3
tax exempt, nonprofit corporation) provides scholarships to students
attending ANC through private contributions. The College’s Foundation,
created in 1977, is one of the most successful two-year college
foundations in the state. The foundation’s assets include endowments for
scholarships, farmland, facilities,

being sought and one-time opportunities occur on a regular basis. Gifts
may be made at any time by contacting the Development Office. Memorials
and gifts are acknowledged to both the donor and the person or family
being honored.
How to Apply for ANC Foundation Scholarships:

in Frenchman’s Bayou for several years managing the farm before
returning to her childhood hometown of Blytheville and closer to her
dear friend Helen Armstrong Miller. Ms. Trimue succumbed to the
complications of a stroke and passed away on March 1, 2001, at the age

to cancer in 1962 when he was only 39 years old. Because of her
husband’s death, someone told her that her son would no longer be able
to attend college. This statement, and her commitment to education,
motivated her to prove the opposite and she worked to provide for her
son’s college. Her son Jim was a graduate of Blytheville High School
later earned an engineering degree from the University of Arkansas. At
the time of his death, he was an engineer for Raytheon Aircraft in
Wichita, Kansas. Sadly, Jim passed away unexpectedly on August 20, 2001,
at the age of 54. Because of Ms. Grimes’ efforts and her understanding

have financial barriers to attending college. She left this gift to the
Arkansas Northeastern College Foundation as a lasting tribute to her son
who was able to find success in both his educational and career
endeavors.
