Northern Essex Community College has awarded $200,000 in scholarships to more than 200 students from cities including Haverhill, Andover, Methuen and Plaistow.

“Our students are deeply appreciative of the many generous individuals and organizations that make these scholarships possible,” Jean Poth, vice president of institutional advancement at NECC, said. “For many of our students, a scholarship is what allows them to stay in school.”

The scholarships range from $250 to $5,000 and come from private donors, memorial donations, local businesses and private foundations.

New scholarships for the 2017/2018 academic year include awards from the Kiwanis Club of Greater Lawrence (named for longtime member Anthony J. Sakowich), the Kendall Smith Memorial Scholarship and Women of NECC Scholarships in memory of Catherine Yameen and Ann Bride.
