This fund supports students who struggle financially to afford school. Some students are in high
school from large families and struggle to afford the extra fees in classes. Others are single
parents supporting their own families, have medical challenges and expenses, or already have a
degree but need a job skill to transition into a high-demand career. Scholarship support helps
them focus on their schooling and finish programs they’ve started.
This funding especially focuses on need-based awards for students who don’t qualify for
adequate Federal Pell Grant or other state funding. Some have children they support as they work
through school or other financial obligations that make completing programs difficult.
A relatively small investment for as little as one year can make a tremendous difference in a
student’s life.
This fund supports the most outstanding students at MTECH based on faculty nominations.
Students are nominated by faculty, approved by program directors, and congratulated personally
by the College President.
This funding accomplishes three things at once:
1) Allows the most diligent students to focus and
excel in their studies that lead to successful careers,
2) Inspires other students throughout the
school about what is possible,
3) Demonstrates to the public and prospective students the tremendous opportunities for excellence in technical education fields.
Students will enjoy personal recognition as Presidential Scholars by the College President, and
honored by faculty and administrators at a recognition lunch.
