Making a gift changes the live of students at UA - Pulaski Tech
You can easily establish a one-time or endowed scholarship at UA - Pulaski Technical College to benefit students earning a technical certificate or two-year degree. You can name your scholarship, including in honor or in memory of a loved one, and set scholarship criteria.
UA - Pulaski Technical College Foundation awards close to $100,000 each semester through private scholarships funded by community members, organizations and companies.
It costs a little more than $6,000 for a student to complete 30 hours of college courses at UA-PTC. More than half of our 4,700 students rely on Pell grants to attend college and benefit greatly from scholarship opportunities.
“Your gift of $1,000 or $2,500 or even an endowed scholarship beginning at $15,000 can truly make the difference for a student to stay in college and earn his or her degree,” Melissa Hendricks, Vice Chancellor of Advancement, said.
All gifts to the UA-PTC Foundation are tax-deductible.
