STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS PRODUCE RESULTS
The MATC Foundation Inc. is a non-profit that builds public-private partnerships to support MATC students with scholarships and emergency assistance as they prepare for careers important to our regional economy.
Your support produces results. MATC’s scholarship recipients have a retention rate nearly three times higher than the rate for the student population as a whole. And these students are overwhelmingly students of color who can directly help build a diverse talent pipeline.
Here are some ways to get involved! Direct your gift using the drop-down menu below.
- Break down financial barriers with a gift to the MATC Promise, which offers free tuition to eligible students. MATC was a trailblazer in 2016 when we launched the first Promise program in Wisconsin and more than 1,700 scholarships have been awarded since the program's inception.
- Make college possible with the DACA Plus Scholarship for students who were brought to the United States as undocumented children, and not eligilble for government financial aid.
- Support a student through an emergency through the MATC Student Emergency Assistance Grant which provides immediate support to keep students in school even when urgent needs arise.
- Accelerate the talent pipeline with a donation to the Ellen and Joe Checota MATC Scholarship Program, which offers full-ride scholarships for 90+ MATC technical diploma and certificate programs.
