NWTC Foundation Make College Possible
Everyone in Northeast Wisconsin deserves access to higher education, regardless of their financial situation and life circumstances. Through the NWTC Foundation, you can help make college a reality for someone who may have not believed higher ed was an option!
You have the power to transform lives!
Individuals from all ages and backgrounds walk through the doors of NWTC:
- Students proud to be the first in their families to earn a degree
- Achievers determined to break the cycle of poverty
- Parents balancing jobs, children, and studying

The common thread? A desire for a better future.
