PTEC SCHOLARSHIPS...A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS:
KinderMorgan & ConocoPhillips - these two companies have contributed thousands of dollars for our PTEC Scholarship program. These scholarships have enabled students to purchase the books necessary for the PTEC courses.
Here is what one student writes:
"To all of those responsible for creating these Scholarships, I really can't say thank you enough. Because of the recent economic downturns, I lost a house to foreclosure and had to move in with family. I literally lost everything, and if it weren't for your Scholarships, I would not have been able to make these very important changes in my life to better myself and get back on my feet financially down the road. I so believe in your Scholarships, that I hope I can pay every bit of it back when I finally settle into a job and start making eough money to help others who may need the hand up you have given me.
Thank you again, you are truly appreciated...." --Robert K. Smith, PTEC Student 2010
