As the CNMI’s only accredited higher education institution, the Northern Marianas College (NMC) is committed to its goal of being an engine for economic growth and a hub for innovation in order to improve the social, economic, and environmental welfare of the people of the Marianas. 

Northern Marianas College recognized 37 scholarship recipients who received financial aid from various private organizations such as the Asian and Pacific Islander American – Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (APIA-AANAPISI), the Tan Siu Lin Foundation, and the Matson scholarship program.

The CNMI’s presentation on diet-related diseases in the Marianas secured first place in the semi-finals of the University of Oxford’s “Map the System” competition.

Eight graduates of Northern Marianas College’s Certificate of Nursing Assistant Program recently passed the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) Exam and are now certified nursing assistants (CNA). They are Jesica Andebor, Rita Atalig, Jan Bobadilla, Shannelle Decena, Cassie Matta, Kiara Manganti, Min Kyu Song, and Jo Rivera. Song is a graduate of the cohort from 2020 while the rest are from the 2021 cohort.

AS part of its effort to expand access to college education, Northern Marianas College launched a new initiative that helps students with the education costs not covered by federal or local financial aid.

OVER 20 presentations from 50 researchers offered possible solutions to "real world" problems in the CNMI during Northern Marianas College's 2nd Annual Research Symposium at Saipan World Resort on Friday.
