The endowed scholarship was established during Mr. Martin\u2019s first term on the NCC Board of Trustees.\u00a0Martin was appointed by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper in 2017.<\/p>\n

This scholarship reflects the Martins\u2019 desire to assist students in the Veterinary Medical Technology Program at Nash Community College.<\/p>\n

NCC’s Veterinary Medical Technology program is designed to prepare students to assist veterinarians in preparing animals for examination and surgery as vet techs. Students learn practical skills in the college\u2019s modern, spacious training environment that allows for all on-campus clinical training and animal care to be self-contained.<\/p>\n

The NCC program is accredited by the Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA) of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) as a program for educating veterinary technicians.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
