Foundation, Inc., has awarded a two-year $80,000 grant to the
Milwaukee Area Technical College Foundation, Inc., for Phase
III of the 21st Century Urban Technical Education Project.
Grant funds will allow expansion of a high school career
planning and scholarship program for 80 qualified low- and

technical education programs at MATC. This program will be
piloted at three Milwaukee Public Schools (Bradley Tech, South
Division and Pulaski High Schools). A joint venture of the
National Science Foundation, MATC, MPS and the University
of Wisconsin-Stout, the 21st Century Project is dedicated
to helping transition students into technology careers. For
