DENTON COUNTY NCTC FOUNDATION
SCHOLARSHIP CAMPAIGN
EVERY GIFT OPENS THE DOOR FOR A DENTON COUNTY STUDENT TO SUCCEED.
THE CHALLENGE
College affordability remains one of the greatest barriers for local students. Even with NCTC’s relatively low tuition, costs for books, transportation, and living expenses can put higher education out of reach.
35% of NCTC students rely on financial assistance.
1 in 9 are the first in their family to attend college. Even a $500 gap can force a student to stop attending classes.
WHY SCHOLARSHIPS MATTER
Scholarships bridge that gap—allowing students to stay in school, graduate on time, and enter our local workforce prepared for success.
“This scholarship relives the burden of trying to figure out how to pay for classes or supplies or worrying about getting into debt. I plan on becoming a structural engineer for a design and consulting firm and plan to graduate this summer 2025 with my Associate of Science Degree with a pathway in Engineering”.
