Thank you for your continuing support of FTCC and its core mission and purpose. Established in 1985, the Foundation is proud of more than 30 years of supporting the advancement of FTCC and its students through efforts resulting in scholarships, tuition assistance, provision for college program initiatives, capital improve- ments, and various other resources. The Foundation’s support at FTCC is increasingly more important in the wake of reduced state funding, limited financial aid for students, and the increasing burden of student loans. FTCC is one of our community’s greatest resources in educating and training our community’s next generation workforce through innovative, cutting-edge programs. Just a few of the new and exciting programs available at FTCC include the Collision Repair and Refinishing Technology program, educational programs, and partnerships designed to assist our active-duty and transitioning soldiers, state-of-the-art culinary arts, business administration, continuing education programs, and hands-on, practical training for paralegals, nurses, dental hygienists, funeral service professionals, and more. Of course, the Foundation’s work and support of these programs would not be possible without the backing of our community, local businesses, faculty, students, alumni, and individual donors. We hope you will invest in the future workforce of our community—FTCC student graduates—by joining the Foundation today.
