Pine Technical College Foundation awards $26,400 in scholarships

Concluding its Ninth Annual Bridging the Dream Scholarship Campaign, the Pine Technical College Foundation awarded a total of $26,400 to 32 deserving students.

Thanks to the donations of more than 60 individual and business donations, 24 full-time students received $1,000 and eight part-time students were awarded $300 scholarships. Recipients include students studying nursing, early childhood education, computer science, CNC operations, gunsmithing, public welfare financial work, accounting and health sciences at Pine Technical College. These students are from 22 area communities including Braham, Hinckley, North Branch, Pine City, Sandstone, Siren and St. Croix Falls.

The generosity of the Foundation’s donors will benefit several of the area’s dislocated workers seeking to gain new marketable skills to re-enter the workforce.

The Foundation asks you to consider joining its family of valued donors, including 27 of the College's own staff and faculty, in making dreams come true... one scholarship at a time.

Donation forms are available by contacting Alison Holland in the President's Office. (Call: 320-629-5140 or e-mail: hollanda@pinetech.edu.)
