To nominate an alum (either a graduate or someone who successfully completed one semester of classes at TJC/NCMC), a nomination form must be completed and forwarded to the NCMC Foundation Office at 1301 Main Street, Trenton, MO 64683.

Alums do not have to reside in the immediate area to be considered. Deceased alumni are not eligible for consideration. The selection criteria for honorees include attendance at TJC/NCMC, success in their chosen professional field or through their voluntary service, support to the college, and involvement in the community, including church, civic, and family activities.
“Alumni from Trenton Junior College (which became North Central Missouri College in 1988) and North Central Missouri College have gone on to do amazing things in their professional and personal lives,” commented NCMC Director of Development Alicia Endicott. “We want to highlight those achievements, and no better time is than during the Pirates Ball, which celebrates the NCMC Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign, the Voyage Fund, and all things NCMC.”
