Wise up now, so that later on you can attend N.C. A&T State University —— free!
N.C. A&T’s chancellor wants to offer 50 percent, 75 percent and full scholarships to every freshman entering the institution next fall.
“We are aggressively — and I mean to underscore that — examining how we will put together a package next fall for incoming freshmen,” Stanley Battle told an audience of faculty and staff members Wednesday during his first Opening Day address.
“Students want to come. They don’t have the money,” Battle said.
……Battle also announced a plan to work with 300 to 400 area fourth-graders to help sharpen their skills in reading comprehension, math and computer science.
“We want to push them and pull them,” Battle said. “We’re going to go into that school with those children, bring them to campus in the summer. Keep pushing them, so they will be prepared and they can enter North Carolina A&T with either 50 percent, three-quarters or a full-ride scholarship.”
Nice plan. Important details, like where the money is, soon to follow.
