What is the NECC President’s Circle?
What is the NECC President’s Circle?The Northern Essex Community College (NECC) President’s Circle recognizes generous benefactors who demonstrate a strong commitment to the mission and impact of NECC in our community.

Why Your Support Matters
- 46% of students at NECC receive some form of financial aid. Gifts to the college bridge the gap for low-income students who otherwise may not be able to complete their courses of study.
- Public support covers just 35% of the college’s annual budget, making private support increasingly critical to the success of the institution and the workforce it serves
- As a key training ground for thousands of local residents, NECC is key to the success of the Merrimack Valley in maintaining its economic vitality, diversity, and accessibility.
