CCAC is proud to announce the CCAC students honored by the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges (PACCC) as part of the organization’s annual All-Pennsylvania Academic Team.
CCAC’s 2026 student awardees include workforce pathway scholars Jules Griffin and Carlyle Walker and college transfer scholars Marcus Bland, Ayla Ismayilova, Tionna Blakeman, Omogbolahan Eyitayo, Robert Boyd, Maleena Dominick and Desiree Spiewak.
This remarkable group joins community college students statewide who have achieved academic excellence, each demonstrating a commitment to their academic studies, their colleges and communities. The students were honored this month during the PACCC annual conference awards dinner on April 7.
Transfer students must have completed at least 36 credits at a community college and must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher to be considered for these awards. Workforce students must have a minimum of 12 college-level credit hours at a community college and a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher.
Pennsylvania’s community colleges partner with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) universities to provide scholarships to eligible All-Pennsylvania Transfer Team members at PASSHE institutions, providing two years of tuition at any PASSHE school.
