The All-Arizona Academic Team is part of a national All-USA recognition program co-sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, USA Today, and Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of the two-year college.
Each fall semester, the college selects up to 18 students (two per campus/center) to represent NPC on the statewide All-Arizona Academic Team. This honor provides a full tuition waiver scholarship to any of the three public in-state Arizona state universities, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University or the University of Arizona for up to 60 credits to complete his or her bachelor's degree. Recipients additionally receive a one-time award from NPC ranging from $500 to $1,000.
All of Arizona's public community colleges select members for their college's All-Arizona Academic Team, who are then eligible to compete for additional scholarships, awarded by the national office of Phi Theta Kappa, as part of the All-USA Academic Team.
- Read the article about last year's team!
The tuition waiver begins the FALL semester following the spring awards luncheon. There are provisions for part-time enrollment to allow time to complete the 60 credits. The application for this scholarship becomes available in early fall each year.
2020 DEADLINE: You MUST submit your application and ALL supporting documents online by Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020 to allow NPC time to review your entry before the national deadline.

Important considerations for nominees:
- Nominees must realize anything they submit in the nomination form could be made public through the media. Students must consider carefully the possibility that, should they win, publicity about their accomplishments – work with support groups or advocacy, for example – could carry implications about their personal lives or immigration status. In fairness to all nominees, and because winners' forms are used as the basis for news coverage of the teams, contents are subject to rigorous fact-checking.
- All nominees must send official transcripts reflecting fall 2020 grades and credits by January 15, 2021. Failure to submit these transcripts will result in the application being eliminated from consideration of national scholarships.
- The program seeks to honor outstanding students who also represent the range of students found on American community college campuses. Traditional, non‐traditional and early start students all have been named to the All-USA Community College Academic Team/Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team. Those seeking associate degrees, as well as those intending to earn a bachelor's degree, are eligible.
- Transcripts are evaluated when a student's application is received. The student’s GPA is evaluated at the point of admission. Remedial or developmental courses are removed and are not counted toward the student's required total courses or toward the cumulative GPA. If there is a question about the student's grades or credits, and whether or not they are eligible, it may benefit the student to have the transcript evaluated prior to submission.
- Judging criteria include academic excellence and intellectual rigor, leadership and service, and how students have extended their education beyond the classroom to benefit society. It is a merit award based on what students have done while attending community college, rather than a need-based scholarship.
- The centerpiece of the nomination is the 500-word essay describing the nominee's most significant endeavor while attending community college, in which the student extended his or her community college education to benefit the school, community or society. Students who have demonstrated leadership and initiative in service learning, who contributed to scholarly research, or who have made lasting contributions to your campus or community may make excellent candidates. If endeavors are not yet complete, they must be far enough along so that the nominee and adviser can discuss the specifics of work done thus far.
- The program is an "academic" team, so the student's academic record is important. Judges look at the overall academic record and how well students' courses match their career goals. The form allows students to explain circumstances that may have affected the student transcript, so students with several withdrawals or a temporary drop in grades should not necessarily be ruled out. However, a nominee with more than a couple unexplained withdrawals will not typically advance in competition.
- The discussion questions are meant to give judges a sense of the nominee's background and time commitments outside of school. The program is open to part‐time as well as full-time students, so the answers help the judges place the nominee's accomplishments into context. The questions should not be interpreted to mean students must have overcome obstacles or be somehow disadvantaged in order to be named to the All-USA Community College Academic Team.
- Please note that USA TODAY and Follett Higher Education Group have been granted exclusive press coverage of any winners selected from the All-USA Community College Academic Team nominations. Students named to the All-USA Community College Academic Team are not allowed to be announced publicly until presented at the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Annual Convention.
- Please note that all nominees will be required to go through a verification process. College nominators must notify Phi Theta Kappa if a nominee faces any type of disciplinary action during the time between nomination and public awarding at the annual AACC Convention.
- Should you be selected as an All-USA Academic Team Scholar or New Century Scholar, you are expected to attend the recognition program held at the AACC Convention. Your college is responsible for covering your travel and accommodation expenses to attend.
- Nominees need not be members of Phi Theta Kappa.
- How do I use my All-Arizona Academic Team waiver?
You must apply and be admitted to either, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or the University of Arizona. You will need to contact the financial aid office of the institution you choose to attend for procedures in using your waiver. The phone numbers are provided in your letter.
- I am planning to stay at the community college and take additional classes before I transfer. When am I required to transfer to the university to use my waiver?
You have up to one year to begin using your resident tuition waiver. The waiver covers a maximum of 60 credit hours, not to exceed IO semesters, excluding summer. Be certain you work with academic advisors at the universities and community colleges to take the classes you need before you transfer. You are encouraged to complete your Associate degree before transferring to the university system.
- Can I use the waiver if I attend the university part-time?
Yes, the waiver can be used for part-time or full-time enrollment. You are encouraged to attend full-time but you can attend part-time. You are required to take a minimum of 6 credit hours per semester.
- Can I use the waiver for more than 60 credit hours at the university if I attended less than two years of classes at the community college before transferring?
No, the waiver covers a maximum of 60 credit hours, not to exceed IO semesters. If you need more than 60 credit hours to complete your university degree, you will be required to pay for those credits using your own funds, or other financial aid for which you may be eligible.
- Can I use the waiver for summer sessions?
No, the waiver can be used only for Fall or Spring Semesters.
- Can I use the waiver for distance education, or at a university branch campus, or other site?
Yes, the waiver can be applied to all Arizona university classes as long as your total semester enrollment is 6 or more credit hours.
- I am a non-resident for tuition purposes. Can I use the waiver to cover non-resident tuition?
No, the waiver covers only the resident portion of tuition. You must pay the difference using your own funds, or other financial aid for which you may be eligible.
- The All-Arizona Academic Team is part of a national, All-USA recognition program co-sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, USA Today, and Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of the two-year college.
- In addition, the highest-scoring student in each state in the All-USA Academic Team competition will be named a New Century Scholar and will receive a scholarship of $2,000.
- Community colleges provide each honoree with a cash award and, since 1998, the Arizona Board of Regents has provided a tuition waiver for up to 60 credits to any Arizona public university.
- National rules restrict nominations to two students from each NPC campus & center location, for a possible total of 18 nominees each year.

IMPORTANT: PTK members can log-in using their email address and password. Non-PTK members should create their own personal log-in by clicking on the link "sign up for free access" on the right side of the page under "Applying for Scholarships?." Once logged in, click the "Fall Scholarship Application" link in the center of the page. When you get to the "Education" tab select Northland Pioneer College and your primary attendance campus/center from the drop down list. Please note that word counts are restricted on some answers. It is STRONGLY recommended you prepare your answers using a word processing application (such as Word or Open Office) and spell/grammar check BEFORE entering your answers into the online application.
Tip:
While not required, applicants should consider asking an NPC English faculty member to review their essay prior to submission. Betsyann Wilson, executive director of NPC Friends & Family, will also help you strengthen your application's answers, improving your chances to place higher on the academic team and thus receive more scholarship dollars.
