Congratulations ANTSHE Scholarship & Award Winners for 2018! Presented at the 21st Annual ANTSHE Conference hosted by Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, March 15-17!
"The Fight for Academic Equity: Creating Social Cohesiveness Between the Adult Learner and College" A Special Thank You to our conference attendees, spotlight speakers, and keynote speakers! During this conference we had the opportunity to learn about some of the factors related to social capital among teachers and professors, how to create a cohesive environment for adult learners, both online and on campus. We also had the opportunity to learn some new rules for engagement for university leaders, and finding ways to connect with adult learners. We had the pleasure of learning from some of today's leaders in higher education like Dr. Robert Hill, Professor Emeritus (NSU) & Higher Ed Consultant/Speaker/Author, Dr. Kennedy Maranga, a professor in research methods, leadership and global studies, law & public policy. We also heard from Dr. Susan Elkins, Chancellor of the University of South Carolina Palmetto College, who taught us the importance of continuing education and how it can help economically challenged areas and how her institution partnered with other institutions in order to help nontraditional students finish their degree programs and achieve their academic goals. We also thank Dr. John Bannister, the volunteers, and Johnson C. Smith University for all of their hard work and for hosting the 21st Annual ANTSHE Conference. During the 3-day conference, we also had four all-inspiring spotlight speakers that talked about motivation, overcoming obstacles, and ways to step outside of your comfort zone to be able to help yourself and others to be successful. Paul Artale, Amy Waninger, NuLuv Jones, and Dr. John Bannister shared their insights, stories, and recommendations on how to achieve your goals and live the life you want. Watch this short video to see what Amy Waninger at leadatanylevel.com had to say about this year's conference.
ANTSHE IN THE NEWS... We were very honored to be interviewed for this article on the nontraditional learner and the challenges of identifying the best college fit for the adult learner. This article is especially relevant and important as the population of the “new” traditional student continues to grow as well as their unique needs in order to be successful. Check it out!

Each year, a college/university is recognized for having the most active and vibrant student organization. Student Recognition Awards are presented to the winning school at the annual ANTSHE National Conference. Nominations are accepted throughout the year for recognition in the next year's conference. Maybe your college or university will be recognized!

I was so very excited when I found out that I won the Kazimour Scholarship for Undergraduate Students. I couldn’t stop smiling. After many years of not believing in myself, I truly am proud of my dedication to my studies and so grateful for the committee to recognize the work that I’ve done. I feel very honored. -Deborah Huber, Idaho State University, 2018 ANTSHE Scholarship Winner

Thank you so much! I am very excited to have won the scholarship and I am very grateful. 
I am so grateful to the ANTSHE organization for the generous scholarship I have been awarded. As a young mother and full-time student, I have a lot of things to juggle that can sometimes be overwhelming. The generosity of such a scholarship will help me get through my rigorous schooling and grant me more calm and peace of mind to focus on my studies and training towards becoming a dentist. -Esther Levy, Touro College, 2018 Scholarship Winner| Upcoming Events 6/21/18 The Longest Day Join the Fight!
