Congratulations to Rosa Tavarez, who was one of 29 adult learners that were awarded scholarships from First Literacy
for the 2025-2026 academic year!
Each year, First Literacy awards scholarships to recent graduates of Massachusetts Adult Basic Education (ABE) or English language programs who are continuing on to vocational training (including certificate programs) or higher education. First Year Scholarship recipients receive $1,500, with the opportunity to receive an additional $1,500 for their second semester if grades are good. Thanks to a grant from The U.S. Charitable Gift Trust, all continuing scholars will have the opportunity to receive the amount of funding they need to pursue their educational goals. This amount may vary depending on the needs of the continuing scholar.
Rosa graduated in 2025 from NSCC’s Adult Learning Center and has enrolled in NSCC’s Medical Coding Program for the fall 2025 semester.
We wish you continued success, Rosa!
