We had a great time celebrating with some of our Family Scholar House at ECTC volunteers yesterday!

Volunteers help us expand our reach and get the job done, making sure more students receive the support they need to succeed.

Thank you to all of our volunteers! We couldn't do this without you!

What happens when great ideas meet a community that cares? ECTC students become unstoppable!

Because of our Student Success Circle donors, $25,000 in grants are helping faculty and staff turn their ideas into real support for students as they work through challenges and reach their goals.

We’re excited to share that Chef Robey Smith was selected as this year’s Student Success Circle Grant winner for the Knife Lending Program.

Also receiving full or partial funding:

* JoNell Henderson & Dr. Telly Sellars: Sharpen Gateway
* Tabitha Kerr: Your ECTC Journey Begins Here
* Ann Knopp: Work Study Leadership Conference
* Jerisia Lamons: Career Pathways

Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to our Student Success Circle members for making this possible!

That’s 845 total services delivered to help students stay enrolled, stable, and moving forward!

When students have support, success becomes possible.

Thank you to our community for helping turn this dream into reality! Because of your support, single parents can provide housing for their families while working towards a degree. Your generosity is creating lasting change, and we are incredibly grateful!

It was an orchestrated symphony of hammers pounding, power saws buzzing, a backing-up skid loader beeping, all blending with rhythmic Spanish modern pop music through a Bluetooth speaker.

Because of your generosity, Giving Day was a huge success! In 24 hours, our incredible community raised over $33,00, inspired 160 donors, and unlocked $12,500 in match and challenge gifts.
