Heather has been on the President\’s List every semester at BRTC and is currently a student worker in the enrollment management office.  She is a single parent, a business owner, and a positive role model for many young ladies who enjoy dance.

All BRTC Academic All-Star students receive a $500 scholarship for their final semester.  In addition, they are offered free tuition at the public state university of their choice.
