NGU Testimonial
“NGU’s scholarship competition was a significant part of my college journey. I was very nervous to present my work and go through the panel interviews, but I was so proud of how far I’d come. When I attended the event, I immediately felt at home and knew that North Greenville was where I was supposed to be. I am thankful for the opportunity NGU gave me to start my college journey that laid the foundation for where I am today.”Grayson Higgins
