Three Rivers College Foundation Awards Over $425,000 in Scholarships

The Three Rivers College Foundation’s twenty-seventh annual Scholarship Awards were announced on Monday, May 18, 2020. Generous contributions led to over $425,000 in scholarships awarded to a record-breaking 174 students.

Betty Baillargeon, Director of Institutional of Advancement stated, “An unprecedented time in our country forced us to cancel our in-person celebration. While we all do our part to stop the spread of the corona virus, we still have much to celebrate, especially these deserving students. So, we have posted a special presentation acknowledging all of the students, their scholarships and the donors.” The video presentation can be found at www.threerivers.edu/2020scholarshipvideo .

The total scholarships awarded came to just over $425,000, which includes $50,000 in summer scholarships. The majority of the scholarships support students through the fall and spring semesters, but many students who have exhausted their financial aid and cannot afford summer courses benefit from the summer scholarships which helps expedite their path to graduation.

The attached excel file lists fall and spring scholarship recipients and has been ordered by town. Please contact Alexa Shelton with questions if you have any difficulty with this file.

$20,000 vs $2,278 or less, same basic courses, all online. What’s your choice?

This is the fall semester you were planning …

You’re looking forward to starting your freshman year at your selected 4-year college. You’ve been accepted, you’re going to get the full on-campus experience, you’re hoping to be assigned to a dorm,

This is the reality …

 

Chance are, you’ll be at home taking your basic required college courses online from your 4-year college. And paying as much as $20,000 or more for tuition and fees!

Instead, you could be taking the same basic required courses and paying only $2,278 for tuition and fees. That’s a real savings that could go to pay for your on-campus college experience when they reopen.

Don’t spend big bucks on tuition if you can’t get your on-campus experience this fall.

Go locally to Three Rivers, take your basic required courses that will transfer, and get your on-campus experience in 2021 when their costs become worth the expense. Learn more about tuition expenses here.

Here’s what you’ll get at Three Rivers …

Academics that will challenge you

Courses at Three Rivers are not sleep-through throwaways. They’re rigorous, offering the same 3-credits when you’re done. And if you’re starting your college career this fall, the first few semesters are mostly general education courses that all colleges and universities require.

Fulfill your basic requirements with courses like:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588945362215{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

• Financial Accounting (ACC 115)
• Microbiology (BIO 235)
• Business Law (BBG 231)
• Organic Chemistry (CHE 211)
• Data Structures and Algorithms (CSC 241)

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588945381086{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

You’ll still get that on-campus experience when things re-open in 2021. See a full list of our course offerings here.

Note: Please note, check with your future institution to ensure they will accept the credits first. 

Faculty that care about YOUR Success

At Three Rivers, you will never be taught by graduate students. You’ll take classes with faculty who work here because they love teaching. Plus, you’ll learn in small classrooms that average 20 students, not 100-200 student lecture halls, and receive individual attention. The faculty at Three Rivers will know you by your name, not as a number.

Many of our faculty have real world experience as professionals in their fields. Our faculty include a Fulbright Scholar, a poet laureate,  nursing award-winners, the head of an accounting firm, and an engineer whose pandemic design increased the capacity of ventilators.

Kim Moore, a recent graduate from the Nursing Program, said, “From the moment I came here, every professor, every person that works here was dedicated to making me the best possible person I could be.”

And of course, the cost is significant. Why pay $20,000 for a semester of online classes when you could spend $2,278?

You can take the same required classes you’d take at your 4-year college at Three Rivers for a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can transfer those credits to the college of your choice.

Learn more about tuition expenses here. You might even qualify for financial aid and pay even less.

Our Pathway Transfer Degrees programs allow students to earn an associate degree at Three Rivers and then seamlessly transfer on to Connecticut State Universities (Central, Eastern, Southern, and Western) and Charter Oak State College without losing any credits.In the process, students save anywhere from $13,000 to $60,000.  Learn more about Transferring your Three Rivers degree to a university.

Plus, Charter Oak will charge you the same tuition rate that you pay at Three Rivers for your junior and senior year. Learn more here.

Study at home and stay safe. You can do it at a fraction of the cost.

Free Community College!

If you are starting college this fall as a first-time college student …

then you might be eligible for free tuition through PACT. To qualify for the program, you must apply, register for 6 credits or more, and fill out the FAFSA.

Or, if you are returning and received PACT last year …

then you continue to be eligible for free tuition through PACT. However, you must register for classes and fill out the FAFSA by as soon as possible for the fall semester and by November 15 for the spring semester.

PACT is the Pledge to Advance Connecticut. It will allow eligible Connecticut residents to earn a degree or certificate from a community college without taking on debt. PACT provides financial support for first-time students who meet the qualifications. The program covers tuition and fees for full time students for 36 months or a maximum of 72 credits earned within that time, and for part time students for 48 months or a maximum of 72 credits earned within that time.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1581095731856{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Qualifications

There is a diverse community of students at TRCC and not everyone will qualify for PACT. If you do not qualify for PACT there are still multiple forms of assistance that students can receive such as financial aid and scholarships as well as support from the Three Rivers College Foundation.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”Who Qualifies?” tab_id=”1579883893884-15a5e738-dc1e”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652886761832{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

To have your tuition and fees covered by the PACT program you must meet the following requirements:

• Live in the State of Connecticut
• Be a Connecticut high school, GED program, or home school program graduate
• Attend college for the first time (transfer & re-admission students do not qualify) OR be a returning student who received PACT last year
• Fill out FAFSA and accept all available financial aid each year. This financial aid package is available on a first-come/first-serve basis until funds run out. There is no separate application for PACT.  The financial aid office will automatically determine a student’s eligibility and award based on the program criteria. 
• Apply to Three Rivers Community College or another Connecticut Community College if you are a new student
• Register in a credit degree or certificate program  
• Enroll in at least 6 credits
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress to keep PACT funding

At this time, PACT does not cover the following:

• Students currently enrolled in a Connecticut Community College or other higher education institution who did not receive PACT last year
• Students that have previously earned a college degree

All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid and scholarships as well as scholarships through the TRC Foundation.

High school graduates who will be first-time college students must enroll and register in the Fall 2022 semester. If you have earned college credit in high school through a dual enrollment program you still qualify for PACT.

PACT is not need-based, but it is required that all students apply for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) for every year that you attend TRCC, and you must meet satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.

Spring Classes Starting in February and March – Register now!

There is still time to take a course at Three Rivers Community College this spring. Three Rivers offers accelerated classes that are taught over a shorter period of time, 7 or 12 weeks, and begin February 12-24 and March 24-30.

Classes cover a variety of subjects and range from Elementary and Intermediate Algebra to Composition, Ethics, Principles of Environmental Science and more. It is a fast way to squeeze in more credits to put towards a degree or certificate. The full list of classes can be found at www.threerivers.edu/spring20. Accelerated courses are worth an equal amount of credit, cover the same amount of information, and require the same number of class hours that a typical full semester 15-week course does.

Returning students can register for a class at myCommNet; new students will need to apply to the school. For more information and to register for these classes, call 860-215-9016 or visit www.threerivers.edu/spring20 for a full list of classes.

Three Rivers College Foundation Awards $410,000 in Scholarships

The Three Rivers College Foundation held the twenty-seventh annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, May 7 at Three Rivers Community College. Generous contributions led to over $410,000 in scholarships awarded to a record-breaking 188 students.

Proud families and friends packed the room during the hour-long ceremony as close to $7,000 was given away per minute! The total scholarships awarded came to just over $410,000, which includes $50,000 in summer scholarships. The majority of the scholarships support students through the fall and spring semesters, but many students who have exhausted their financial aid and cannot afford summer courses benefit from the summer scholarships which helps expedite their path to graduation. The summer scholarship program was incredibly successful last year.

The online option for General Studies Associate in Science degree program offers the flexibility of earning your degree fully online.

It is designed primarily for students whose special interests cannot be accommodated within a Liberal Arts degree program. With more open electives and fewer required courses than the Liberal Arts and Sciences degree, the General Studies degree offers greater flexibility for individual interest and needs. It is also for those who wish to develop a broader base of knowledge for intellectual stimulation and personal growth.

This program is suitable for transfer to a four-year institution, but the assistance of an academic advisor is recommended to provide guidance in choosing electives. You are advised to check the specific requirements of the institution and major to which you intend to transfer. With your academic advisor, you can create a program of study suitable for transfer to a four-year college, or as preparation for particular self-defined goals.

Benefits

Upon completion of your Associate Degree, you can continue your studies for a bachelor’s degree completely online at Charter Oak State College. Best of all,it will be at a reduced rate. Your tuition will remain the same as Three Rivers tuition. This means, you will save $135 per credit compared to the Charter Oak rate of $298 per credit, or $346 per credit compared to Eastern Connecticut State University rate of $509 per credit.*

*These rates are based on current 2018-2019 tuition. Tuition will be based on the rate in place at the time of transfer.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][mk_fancy_title color=”#cb1d5c” size=”30″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”Oswald” font_type=”google”]Easy Transfer Options[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text]Charter Oak State College

In the News | Three Rivers Community College grads celebrate many paths to success

Norwich, CT (The Day, May 23, 2018) — On a picture-perfect late afternoon Wednesday, the 53rd graduation of Three Rivers Community College featured all the stories often associated with one of the state’s more affordable college choices, with students juggling school, work, family life and career changes.

“I came here for an affordable education and a flexible schedule so that I could work, study and care for my kids,” Nataliia Romanenko of Niantic, Class of 2018 valedictorian, told fellow graduates during her speech Wednesday. “I didn’t expect much from it, but I was so wrong. I am greatly impressed and deeply touched by the quality of education, faculty qualification and warm and supportive environment here.”

Romanenko received an associate degree in computer science technology Wednesday and also was one of seven graduates to receive the Medallion of Excellence for earning a 4.0 grade point average. Class Salutatorian Zaha Bush and graduates Chelsea Ahmed, Rebecca Cipriani, Allison Grills, Debra Kerby and Patrick Meagher joined her in the medallion presentation.

Among the 580 students receiving degrees and certificates Wednesday were mothers and daughters walking together, a husband and wife celebrating their third anniversary with degrees and even two high school classmates receiving associate degrees before they get their high school diplomas.

That was the case for Jaeden Spitale, 17, of Baltic and Alexi Switz, 17, of Stonington. The two were classmates not only at Three Rivers Community College but also at the Three Rivers Middle College High School on the same campus. The high school for 11th- and 12th-graders offers the chance to earn dozens of credits toward college degrees during high school studies.

Spitale and Switz took it a step further by graduating from college Wednesday with associate degrees in general studies one month before they will graduate from high school. Spitale said he was under a bit of sibling pressure, because his sister, Madison Spitale-Hansen, did the same two years earlier at Three Rivers.

Both plan to remain classmates in the honors program at the University of Connecticut in Storrs in the fall. Spitale will bring 57 credits with him to UConn to study environmental sciences in preparation for a law degree, and Switz will start her biomedical engineering studies with a goal of becoming a medical doctor with 69 credits already in hand.

“I’m saving two years of college for zero dollars!” Spitale said Wednesday.

Melissa Girardin, 21, of Preston didn’t have to look far to find her mother in the overflow crowd on the Three Rivers green Wednesday. Mom, Nancy Girardin, 51, would be marching to the stage with her to get her associate degree in nursing.

The younger Girardin earned her associate degree in accounting and already has two jobs in the field, including one at her father, Dennis Girardin’s Broad Brook Heating & Cooling in Jewett City. Melissa Girardin isn’t done, though. She plans to go to Eastern Connecticut State University to pursue a degree as a certified public accountant.

Her mother, too, is putting her new degree to use, working at Bride Brook Health & Rehabilitation Center in Niantic. Nancy Girardin said she has been going to Three Rivers part time for the past seven years, while Melissa, a 2015 Norwich Free Academy graduate, told her mom she would “hurry up” to complete her studies so they could graduate together.

Three Rivers President Mary Ellen Jukoski highlighted several such stories Wednesday, asking graduates to stand as she announced their accomplishments.

Heather and Adam Dyer were married on May 23, 2015, Jukoski said. “As Heather says, ‘We will both be celebrating our third year anniversary today by walking down the aisle again once more, but this time to get our associate degrees.’”

The youngest graduate Wednesday was Christopher Annino, 16, with an associate degree in applied sciences in construction management. Gary Tobias, 68, was the oldest, with an associate degree in science in hospitality.

“Today I speak to all our graduates and say, this is your day to celebrate your commitment to learning,” Jukoski said, “the effort and dedication you invested to pursue your education, and your perseverance to make this day possible.”

Keynote speaker Matt Fleury, president and chief executive officer of the Connecticut Science Center and chairman of the state Board of Regents for Higher Education, told graduates his own winding career road that started with a degree in theater arts from Berkshire Community College in Massachusetts. From there, he pursued careers in broadcasting, communications, management and finally business, with a degree from the University of Connecticut.

Fleury lamented that community colleges are often looked down on as the poor sisters of higher education. He told Three Rivers graduates they should expect and demand respect and then turned his voice beyond the green, to Washington, D.C.

“Hello!” he shouted. “These people have jobs! These people have families! … They should get respect!”
