We are proud to congratulate Tuscan on receiving a scholarship through NTAGGL!📚

Tuscan has been accepted to Dallas Baptist University and it’s no surprise why! He ranks in the top 6% of his graduating class, something worth bragging about since he accomplished this while taking honors, dual credit, and advanced placement classes! His strong academic work ethic, dedication to volunteerism, and commitment to serving other exemplify the qualities of a true servant leader, values important to Tuscan and a key reason he chose Dallas Baptist University.

Tuscan shared, “I feel called to Dallas Baptist University, in which their mission is to produce strong servant leaders. Their non-traditional approach to Greek life, centered on service projects, aligns perfectly with who I am and what I believe in.”

👏👏👏👏 Congratulations, Tuscan!
