Due to Covid-19 we were not able to hold our annual conference as schedule. Please check back at a later date for updates on our plans for the next ANTSHE Conference. 

"Disrupt the System…Move from Access to Success for the Non-Traditional Student"

On behalf of the ANTSHE Board of Directors, it is with great honor to congratulate the ANTSHE Scholarship and Award Winners for 2020! Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were not able to hold our annual conference as planned and celebrate our scholarship winners. Although we were not able to celebrate our winners in Indianapolis, we all celebrate and cheer for their win. ANTSHE Scholarship Winners are selected based on their individual financial need, contributions to their campus and community, and their nontraditional student characteristics.

The scholarship winners for 2020 are as follows:

• Kazimour Scholarship: La'Shara Smith, Aiken Technical College
• Kazimour Scholarship: Elham Abraham, Oswego University
• ANTSHE Board Scholarship: Michelene Williams-Nicholas, Central Piedmont Community College
• President's Scholarship: Napoleon Butler, Liberty University

This year we also recognize Marsha Goolesby-Barker and the Adult Student Services at Chattanooga State Community College, winner of the 2020 Award for “Outstanding Foundation & Leadership for Nontrad Students.” This award is presented to a college or university adult learner program for their outstanding support for nontraditional students. The winner of this award provides the foundation and leadership needed for nontrad success, through resources, programs, tools, motivation, support, and a conducive learning environment that encourages learning and educational success. This award aligns with ANTSHE's mission to provide motivation and support not only to nontraditional students but also the colleges/universities, and the people who support them in various ways. Congratulations Marsha and the Adult Student Services at Chattanooga State Community College.

ANTSHE Awards promote nontraditional student success in higher education by recognizing individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to create adult learner programs and environments that encourage, motivate, and provide the resources and aide needed for adult learner success. ANTSHE recognizes individuals and adult learner programs that exemplify the highest standards and organizations that have conducted activities to promote and expand adult learner programs. Award winners serve as inspirational leaders to ANTSHE: they embody the core values of serving nontraditional students and being committed to ANTSHE.

We thank our members, for their continued support of nontraditional students and of ANTSHE.  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and ALL-Volunteer organization, we rely on the support of you, our members, and those who attend our annual conferences to help fund the scholarship program and other programs that benefit nontraditional students across the country. Without our members, our conference, and ability to provide scholarships and awards would not be possible. We look forward to another exciting year at ANTSHE and hope that you will consider nominating an individual or adult learner program for the 2021 ANTSHE Conference Awards program and consider attending our next conference, check our website at www.myantshe.org, details coming soon.
