High School Students in College
Thanks to a grant written by New Hampshire Community College-Berlin instructors Rick Alger and Marion Schafer, a number of area high school students have had the opportunity to take a College Composition course while still in high school. The grant was funded by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation/Northern New Hampshire Foundation and pays tuition and book costs for the students. Over the two years of the grant, students from Gorham, Groveton, and North Stratford have taken advantage of the scholarships. Schafer stated that a variety of distance learning techniques have been used with the students in Groveton and North Stratford, while students from Gorham have joined composition classes given through the CCSNH-Berlin Division of Continuing Education at the Berlin Campus. Four Gorham students, Craig McCauley, Lindsey Theriault, Lee Anne Bolash, and Tiffany Kennison, are currently taking a weekly College Composition course that will give them a head start on their college studies whether they attend CCSNH-Berlin or transfer the credits to another college.Back to news list
