Thank you for visiting our Webpage. It is an honor for me to be associated with the Foundation for Winter Park Tech. The Foundation is a non-profit entity to raise and provide funds to worthy students at Winter Park Tech to ensure that they could complete their studies there. The Foundation also promotes Winter Park Tech in the community by letting potential employers know about tremendous pool of talent available to them among the graduates of Winter Park Tech.
Since its formation in 2004, the Foundation has been able to meet the financial needs of over 60 worthy students who could not afford some part of the costs to complete his or her course classes and graduates. The Foundation has granted full scholarships, but more often will pay for just a portion of cost for such items as, required course books, GED examination or other testing fees, lab fees, partial tuition payments and even purchase nurses shoes for a student so he/she could complete training as an intern. We carefully screen each candidate to ensure that they don’t have another source of funds (such as a Pell grant), that they are hardworking a passionate about their chosen career field.
Often, without funding from the Foundation, these students would not be able to complete their courses. The funding provided by the Foundation is often the difference which allows a student to complete their course studies at Winter Park Tech and pursue opportunities for success in their professional and personal lives.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Foundation to help our students and our community.
