Institutions’ Officials Sign Transfer Agreements in Three Areas

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.���Attending 厙ぴ勛圖 just got easier for students.

厙ぴ勛圖 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���s Spindale campus.

���This is a great way to bolster the partnership between 厙ぴ勛圖 and Isothermal,��� said Dr. William Downs, president of 厙ぴ勛圖. ���Any time we are doing a good thing with our neighbors to create greater opportunities is a good day for our students.���

Bulldog Bound is a co-admission program that provides students admission to 厙ぴ勛圖 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 厙ぴ勛圖���s 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.  

���These 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,��� said Dr. Margaret Annunziata, Isothermal���s president. ���We are very excited about this partnership and what it will mean for our community.���

The nursing agreement lets an Associate Degree Nursing student at Isothermal seamlessly transfer into the BSN and MSN programs at 厙ぴ勛圖.
