The first “Discovery Day” for the 2016-2017 year will be at the Curtis campus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students, their families, guidance counselors and youth leaders are invited to participate.

Students will take guided tours, meet with instructors, view student groups and opportunities at an activities fair, and learn more about applying for federal financial aid (FAFSA).

Students who submit applications to attend NCTA in 2017 will be eligible for a drawing to win $250 textbook certificate to be redeemed next fall at the NCTA Bookstore.
