Marion Technical College receives two donations for individual students from community members
A group of community members have fundraised over $82,000 in donations to be presented to the Marion County School Board. Marion Technical College will receive two awards for individual students enrolled in the Practical Nursing program.
Two students who are currently enrolled in Marion Technical College will be receiving some financial help thanks to members of the community. Some generous members of Marion County have banded together to raise both cash and tangible donations totalling over $82,000 for the Marion County School Board, which will be distributed throughout the district.
The donations were presented for acceptance to the school board on Tuesday, April 26.
According to Ocala News, the awards given to Marion Technical College are “$1,875 to Marion Technical College (1014 SW 7th Road in Ocala) to be used for an individual student who is enrolled in the Practical Nursing Program,” and “$2,500 to Marion Technical College to be used for an individual student who is enrolled in the Practical Nursing Program.” The awards given to the other schools and programs in the school district can be found in the aforementioned article.
According to Marion Technical College’s website, MTC offers “more than 50 associate degree and certificate programs in the areas of business, IT, healthcare, and the arts and sciences.”
While the two students who will benefit from the community’s generosity are already enrolled in the Practical Nursing program, MTC offers many scholarships and grants for many students at different stages in their education journey; that information can be found here.
