GED Grad Earns Student of Year Award |
Renate Kollman of Enterprise (pictured right) was recognized as Enterprise State Community College's 2009-10 Adult Education Student of the Year. The award was presented during a GED graduation ceremony held recently on the Enterprise Campus. Kollman, a native of Germany, came to Enterprise when her husband was transferred to Fort Rucker. She enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes because she wanted to be fluent in the English language. She successfully completed the ESL program and began taking GED classes, earning her GED diploma this past March. "It's not every day that we have a student as dedicated as Renate," stated Ms. Terri Dunn, ESCC adult education director. "She had perfect scores on the GED Practice Test but would not stop studying or attending classes until she received her official GED test results back. She is just a joy to be around, and we're so pleased to have had the opportunity to work with her." Pictured with Kollman is ESCC adult education instructor Ms. Verna Wilson. For more information about English as a Second Language or GED classes, call (334) 347-2623, ext. 2218 or e-mail hwilliamson@escc.edu.

Aviation Programs Become Competitive With Other States
|
The Alabama Aviation Center, a Unit of Enterprise State Community College, has been taking steps toward gaining a competitive reputation for excellence in its aviation programs across the nation.
Enrollment for aviation classes at the Ozark Center is coming close to the maximum allowed by the Federal Aviation Association (FAA), the certifying institution for the College's aviation programs.
In delivering quality training programs in aviation maintenance, training equipment must be kept up-to-date and facilities in kept top condition. To offset these costs, the fees for the airframe technology and powerplant technology classes have been increased by $35.00 per credit hour, which brings them to the same level as other aviation training programs in other states.
The summer semester begins on June 1; however, with registration opening on April 12, aviation students are advised to register early as the classes do fill up quickly. For more information about the classes offered, call the Ozark Center at (334) 774-5113, the Mobile Center at (251) 438-2816, the Andalusia Center at (334) 222-0133, or the Albertville Center at (256) 279-0940, or go online at www.escc.edu.

Pell Grant Financial Aid Now Available for Full Year
The U.S. Department of Education has approved a new policy which allows students to receive a full-time Pell Grant on a year-round basis. Prior to this, the grant funded a maximum of two full-time semesters during a traditional academic year.
"The Federal Pell Grant program is the foundation upon which most financial aid packages are based," says Dr. Chip Quisenberry, Enterprise State Community College Financial Aid Director. "Annual award amounts vary according to student status and payment schedules provided to ESCC by the U. S. Department of Education. These grants do not have to be repaid unless a student completely withdraws from ESCC before attending at least 60% of a given term."
To be eligible for the third semester of Pell Grant funding, students have to enroll in courses that apply toward their second year of college. They have to be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester in the preceding academic year, and then must enroll for a minimum of 6 credit hours for the summer semester to qualify. Payment continues as with the other semesters, once per semester.
According to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, the first summer semester awards will be applied in 2010. To obtain any financial aid, students must apply online at fafsa.ed.gov. To apply for financial aid for the 2010-2011 academic year, the deadline for ESCC students is midnight, May 15, 2010.
For more information about the Pell Grant and other financial aid programs, call Dr. Quisenberry at (334) 347-2623, ext. 2214 or go online to www.escc.edu.
