Meet the Greenville Tech Foundation. Founded in 1973, the nonprofit rallies community support for Greenville Technical College and its students in the form of scholarships and other benefits – like the $425,000+ in scholarships they awarded in 2018. (Greenville Technical College students, make sure to fill out your scholarship application between January 15, 2020 and May 1, 2020 to be automatically matched with scholarship options you’re eligible for.)

Each year, Greenville Tech Foundation hosts the Workforce Development Salute, honoring key donors whose gifts have helped Greenville Technical College students develop specialized knowledge, receive degrees + land jobs in competitive fields.

This year’s event on Thursday, October 3 at the Hyatt Regency Greenville will honor Dodie Anderson, Jolley Foundation and Lockheed Martin. Support from this year’s honorees provides a pathway for economic opportunity and upward mobility for Greenville Technical College students and their families. Together, the honorees have contributed more than $3.5 million to Greenville Tech Foundation, funding scholarships, student emergency needs, equipment and facilities benefiting 3,000+ students.

Join 350+ business and community leaders in celebrating mobility at the 2019 Workforce Development Salute. Click here or below for tickets + more info. All proceeds support Greenville Technical College.
