BWF Student STEM Enrichment Program funds support career-oriented and practical programs intended to provide creative science enrichment activities for students in K-12 education. The program supports diverse programs to enable primary and secondary students to participate in creative, hands-on STEM activities and pursue inquiry-based exploration, an educational approach that BWF believes to be an effective way to increase students’ understanding and appreciation of the scientific process. “The Burroughs Wellcome Foundation recognized that schools like NCC have a greatly increased reach in rural areas and with underserved communities,” said NCC Biology Professor Dr. David Beamer said. "This planning grant will be used to develop STEM learning modules connected to ongoing DNA research and laboratory tasks associated with data collection and analysis. Funds will be used for program development and instructional materials." The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is a private independent foundation located in Research Triangle Park, NC. Its mission is to serve and strengthen society by nurturing a diverse group of leaders in biomedical sciences to improve human health through education and powering discovery in frontiers of greatest need. New NCC Scholarship to Benefit Eagle Scouts Local scouts have established a scholarship to support Eagle Scouts attending Nash Community College. Established by Boy Scouts of America Rocky Mount Troop 7 and Rocky Mount Troop 40, the scholarship can be awarded to a Nash Community College student who has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. The scholarship may be given to a student who meets the criteria regardless of the recipient's program of study. In 2013, Troop 40 merged into Troop 7. The Nash Community College Foundation, Inc. was established in 1983 to increase community awareness, raise funds for the student scholarship program, and help meet the needs of Nash Community College. Foundation resources ensure that deserving students have the financial capability to take advantage of the quality instruction and higher educational opportunities the College provides.

LIVE CAM: Monarch Butterfly Check out Studio 67's LIVE CAM on a Monarch Butterfly caterpillar filling up on milkweed before entering the chrysalis phase. There are several caterpillars on this plant, located on the Nash Community College campus behind Brown Auditorium. The Monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Copyright © 2021 Nash Community College. All Rights Reserved.
