Enrollment for fall classes is currently open for students interested in taking online and seated courses. The first day of curriculum classes will be August 18th. As the start date draws nearer, please keep in mind that registration is open for any student interested in joining our family. For more information on registering, please get in touch with Dr. Shakeena White at (910) 275-6362 or swhite@jamessprunt.edu.

If you are a high school student in Duplin County, one of the most valuable educational tools available to you would be the Career and College Promise program. CCP courses allow high school students to take college-level classes for free! Credits transfer easily to many higher institutions, or CCP can provide opportunities for a student to earn certificates in various trades offered here at JSCC. Our CCP Liaison, Elizabeth Howard, can be reached at ehoward@jamessprunt.edu or (910) 275-6285.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide students with resources to achieve all their educational goals without allowing finances to be a hindrance. As Duplin County native Dr. Dallas Herring said, “We meet students where they are, and take them as far as they can go.” We offer students a variety of scholarship opportunities for classes categorized as curriculum or continuing education.
Please visit our website at https://jamessprunt.edu/admissions-aid/scholarships/ to view our current scholarships. We encourage you to contact Shanteay Williams, Senior Financial Aid Assistant, at (910) 275-6375 or swilliams@jamessprunt.edu for more information about scholarships. Students are also provided specific scholarships through the JSCC Foundation. For more information on the requirements for this aid, connect with Taylor Sandlin at tsandlin@jamessprunt.edu or call (910) 275-6135.
Speaking of the JSCC Foundation, our 37th Annual JSCC Golf Tournament will take place at the Duplin County Country Club on September 15th. For more information about how to participate as a golfer or to be a hole sponsor, contact Taylor Sandlin. All proceeds from the event will support the work of the JSCC Foundation in providing scholarships to our students.
In addition to eliminating obstacles, we seek to provide our students with groundbreaking opportunities and cutting-edge technology. New course opportunities include:
Electrical Lineworker Certification
Industrial Maintenance
For more information on these opportunities, contact Gloria Wiggins at gwiggins@jamessprunt.edu or (910) 275-6198. With the trade industry wide open for eager participants, there is no better time than today to invest in short-term training that can yield a long-term career.
We are also pleased to announce that our College and Career Readiness program will hold English Language Acquisition (ESL) and U.S. Citizenship Classes at a new location. These courses will be held at the Beulaville Municipal Complex from 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. on select days starting August 8th. The Beulaville Municipal Complex address is 508 East Main Street, Beulaville, NC 28518. For more information, contact Sherri Thigpen at sthigpen@jamessprunt.edu or (910) 275-6201.
