The 26th annual Niagara County Community College Foundation Scholarship Gala took place Saturday at the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute.

The distinguished student scholarship is the most prestigious award offered by the NCCC Foundation to incoming freshman. It provides two years of tuition-free education to deserving students based on academic excellence, service to the community, and loyalty to Niagara County.
