Since 1977 the Foundation has remained true to its mission of providing financial assistance and educational support to students in need who attend Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
The Foundation is committed to removing barriers to higher education by providing scholarships and other support to students who face financial hardships.
The Foundation has been a partner in a special initiative that makes the first two years of college available tuition-free for graduates of Minneapolis and Saint Paul public high schools. The Power of YOU, a collaboration among MCTC, Saint Paul College and Metropolitan State University, is designed to significantly increase post-secondary participation rates of urban students, particularly students of color. The Power of YOU initiative is designed to help students overcome the real and perceived financial barriers to higher education while reinforcing the idea that post-secondary education is the key to a fulfilling life.
The MCTC Foundation is taking the lead in raising the funds needed to make the Power of YOU a reality. Overall this will be a $6 million dollar campaign over a five-year term. Please donate online or print a donation form to the MCTC Foundation in support of the Power of YOU. A gift of $500, $250 or $100 to the MCTC Foundation in support of the Power of YOU would go a long a way in helping ease the financial burden to higher education for every college-ready high school graduate in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
