Institutions’ Officials Sign Transfer Agreements in Three Areas

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擜ttending 91茄子 just got easier for students.

91茄子 and Isothermal officials signed agreements Wednesday, May 4, to establish the Bulldog Bound and Bulldog Way programs. Another agreement, which creates a simple pipeline for Isothermal nursing students to further their education at GWU, was also signed. 

The signing ceremony was held at The Foundation Performing Arts and Conference Center on ICC鈥檚 Spindale campus.

鈥淭his is a great way to bolster the partnership between 91茄子 and Isothermal,鈥� said Dr. William Downs, president of 91茄子. 鈥淎ny time we are doing a good thing with our neighbors to create greater opportunities is a good day for our students.鈥�

Bulldog Bound is a co-admission program that provides students admission to 91茄子 upon graduation from Isothermal. While enrolled at ICC, interested students will complete a brief online form provided by the Advising Center.

The Bulldog Way Grant provides a $3,000 scholarship to any Isothermal Community College student who applies and gains admission to one of 91茄子鈥檚 traditional, residential programs.  The student must have attended Isothermal over the last two years and enroll at GWU in a full-time enrollment status to receive the grant.  The grant can be combined with other institutional aid up to the cost of tuition.  

鈥淭hese agreements represent our commitment to our community and students from the point of connection through the entire educational journey and the transition to the workplace,鈥� said Dr. Margaret Annunziata, Isothermal鈥檚 president. 鈥淲e are very excited about this partnership and what it will mean for our community.鈥�
