Thanks to the generous support of former North Central Texas College (NCTC) employee Maurice Robeson Irish, the NCTC Foundation announced the winners of the 2026-2027 Robeson Excellence in Teaching Award. This award provides funding to help NCTC faculty bring innovative ideas to life that enhance student learning and enrich the overall student experience at the college.

NCTC is honored to announce the Grant W. Simpson Jr. Red River Promise Scholarship, established by Karen Simpson and her children in memory of Dr. Grant W. Simpson Jr. A lifelong educator and passionate advocate for students, Dr. Simpson’s legacy will continue through this scholarship, creating educational opportunities for future generations.

NCTC’s annual Creativity Awards are now accepting submissions from students and community members in poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art. This year’s awards also feature artist and guest judge Dan Black, whose journey from spray-painting murals to exploring painting, sculpture, and installation art highlights the power of creativity, discovery, and connection.
