Making a Difference

To succeed in today's competitive workplace requires a superior professional technical education and financial support.
 

 

 Over $76,000 of scholarships were awarded to 100 students for the 2006-2007 academic year.  
 
Scholarships: Making an Investment that Changes Lives

Scholarships make education accessible to BTC students who might not otherwise dream of a college education. These are students with the drive to succeed, but who lack the financial resources required to get through college all by themselves.

Building our scholarship funds is a top priority for the Bellingham Technical College Foundation. Please join in passing along the gift of education through a contribution to the scholarship fund. Your generous support of scholarships can make all the difference for years to come

General Excellence Fund
The General Excellence Fund is BTC's primary source of unrestricted funds to support campus-wide priorities such as: student scholarships, educational & training opportunities for faculty and staff and special program related projects.
Named Annual Scholarships
Annual scholarships comprise the bulk of scholarships awarded to BTC students each year. Scholarships may be named for individuals or organizations and the donors may specify award criteria that reflect their own values and objectives. A minimum gift of $2,500 per year is necessary to establish a named scholarship.
Endowed Scholarships
An endowment fund creates a legacy that speaks to an individual's life, values and commitments while making a difference in the lives of students at BTC. A minimum gift of $25,000 (which may be pledged over several years) is necessary to establish an endowed scholarship. An endowed fund can be created through a will, a planned gift or by currently endowing a fund.
Memorial or Honorary Gifts
A memorial or honorary gift allows you to recognize a loved one with a fund created by contributions made in that person's name. Many memorials are established as endowed scholarships, permanently carrying the names of those honored.
