The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society announced that Landmark College alumnus Richard Little ’24 was named a 2025 New Century Transfer Scholar and will receive a $2,250 scholarship.
New Century Transfer Scholars are selected based on their academic accomplishments, leadership, activities, and how they extend their intellectual talents beyond the classroom. Nearly 2,100 students from more than 1,300 college campuses nationwide were nominated. Only one New Century Transfer Scholar is selected from each state.
Richard earned his A.A. in General Studies and received an Academic Dean’s Award during a Commencement ceremony held last December for the fall 2024 graduating class. He transferred to George Mason University this spring to pursue a B.S. in Health Administration.
“We congratulate Richard for receiving this prestigious scholarship, and we are honored to partner with the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, The Coca-Cola Foundation, and the AACC to recognize these outstanding achievements,” said Phi Theta Kappa’s President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner. “Scholarship programs like this are integral for creating opportunities for two-year college students to succeed and for putting college completion within reach.”
The New Century Transfer Scholars program is sponsored by The Coca-Cola Foundation, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Phi Theta Kappa, and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).
