MTC employees raise $36,880 for student scholarships

Marion Technical College faculty and staff believe in their students, which they demonstrated with their generous gifts. In one month, employees raised $36,400 for the Marion Technical College Foundation for student scholarships.

“Marion Technical College is in the business of changing lives. As we serve many who are the first in their families to attend college, we don’t want any students to miss opportunities to succeed due to financial need,” said Amy Adams, MTC’s Vice President of Planning and Advancement.

Adams thanked the Raymond and Charlotte Baldauf Trust for matching all of the employee donations for scholarships. The trust doubled the $18,440 in faculty and staff gifts.

“What an investment in Marion’s future. The Baldauf Trust will help many local students get to their next goal – a degree, a new career, or a chance for advancement!”

In addition, MTC faculty and staff donated more than $4,000 to the United Way of Marion County for local needs and another $1,100 to fund capital projects at the Marion Campus.

As the Marion Technical College Foundation continues to grow, MTC is searching for a director of the MTC Foundation. For more details or to apply, go to www.mtc.edu/community/jobs-at-mtc/. The deadline is January 1, 2018.
