Seven students from Northland Pioneer College (NPC), were among seventy-one community college awardees from around the state who were recognized on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at the State All-Arizona Academic Awards Ceremony in Mesa, Arizona. The ceremony recognizes the outstanding academic achievements and distinguished leadership of students enrolled in Arizona’s community colleges. To be named to the All-AZ Academic Team, students must demonstrate academic excellence (maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher) and illustrate intellectual rigor along with leadership and service that extends their education beyond the classroom. Phi Theta Kappa, the American Association of Community Colleges, Arizona Community Colleges, the Arizona Board of Regents, and the Follett Higher Education Group help these exceptional students reach their educational goals by awarding tuition waivers to any of Arizona’s three state universities: Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University.
