NCMC donates $50,000 to College Promise

North Colorado Medical Center will provide scholarships to Greeley-Evans School District 6 students interested in healthcare degrees at Aims Community College.

NCMC donated $50,0000 to the new Aims College Promise scholarship program.

Students eligible for the program can receive up to $2,000, which covers full-time, in-district tuition rates for a year.

College Promise's goal is to give high school students the chance to get started on their college education.

The NCMC endowment brings the fund's goal to nearly $150,000. While the NCMC donation is targeted to healthcare, the remaining funds are not limited by students' interests.

Weld businessman Scott Ehrlich started the College Promise fund last year with a $20,000 donation.

The following community members and businesses have donated to the fund: Ehrlich Toyota, C.W. Eastwood, EnviroTech Services, Flood and Peterson Insurance, Nick Francis, Richard Kemme, Bob Tointon, Robert Waltman, Elverda Peddycord, Honda of Greeley and NCMC.
