April 29, 2025 − Senator Nick Miller issues the following statement on Governor Shapiro’s Announcement of $1,000,000 Dual Credit Innovation Grant for Lehigh Carbon Community College and $860,161 Dual Credit Innovation Grant for Northampton Community College:

“It is crucial that we continue to prepare students for the workforce by providing them with opportunities to pursue the fields they want to be in. The Lehigh Valley is home to two tremendous community colleges, Lehigh Carbon Community College and Northampton Community College, and this funding will enhance opportunities for even more students. By investing in local community colleges with the Dual Credit Innovation Grants, we are paving the way for students to earn their bachelor’s degrees or to enter the workforce directly. These investments will equip them for successful careers and prepare them for the next phase of their academic journeys. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will have on students at LCCC and NCC.”
