The NTCC Board of Trustees established Honors Northeast in the spring of 2007. Geared to attract top high school graduates and college students, the program has received generous support from both outside donors, and a team of NTCC administrators and professors. Each year, NTCC honors students have presented research at the Walter Prescott Webb Society of Texas (WPWS), the Great Plains Honors Council (GPHC) and the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). NTCC honors students have won 30 State of Texas Caldwell Awards, 10 Boe Awards of the Great Plains Honors Council, eight Britt Poster Awards of the GPHC, and on the national level, 20 Leaders of Promise, 18 Coca Cola Awards, three Hites Awards, two Pearsons, eight Guistwhite Awards, and 11 exclusive Jack Kent Cooke scholarships. NTCC Scholars also have published 23 essays in refereed scholarly journals since 2009.
