Honesdale, PA – Lewis J Critelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wayne Bank, is pleased to announce that the Bank will support the Northampton County Area Community College Foundation with a $10,000.00 contribution to provide scholarships through the Dual Enrollment Program for the Monroe County Campus.
The gift was made possible as a result of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program offered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Community and Economic Development.
“Wayne Bank is proud to continue our support of the Northampton County Area Community College Foundation,” stated Mr. Critelli. “The Duel Enrollment program provides Monroe County high school students with a wonderful opportunity to further their education and explore the exciting possibilities that college can offer.”
Northampton Community College’s (NCC) Dual Enrollment program allows students the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school, giving them the chance to get used to the collegiate academic environment, take classes that aren’t offered at their school, and explore areas of interest in greater depth. Studies show that students who participate in dual-enrollment programs are more likely to earn college degrees.
