Black & White Gourmet Dinner has Profound Impact on Students
The Gourmet Dinner was held on Moraine Park's Fond du Lac campus and helped raise nearly $30,000 for student scholarships and emergency financial assistance.
Within a profound scene of smiles, laughter, joyful tears and dreams come true, Moraine Park Technical College hosted its 2017 Commencement Ceremony in the Fond du Lac High School Field House on Saturday, May 20.
Too often, deserving high school students think college isn't an option for their future - not because of their abilities or ambition, but because of financial limitations.
Moraine Park Technical College is looking to change that.
At a
community-wide open house at its Fond du Lac campus on Saturday, April 8, the College unveiled the Moraine Park Promise program - a new scholarship initiative intended to help low-income, high school students afford college and pursue their dreams.
In 2016-17 the Foundation awarded more than $169,000 in scholarships and $4,000 in emergency grants to over 200 deserving students. With the easing of their financial burden, students are able to focus on their studies and take advantage of the many learning and volunteer experiences offered on campus.
Soon their Moraine Park education will give them opportunities they never had before. Opportunities to earn a better income, to be a role model for their children and grandchildren, and to serve others in their community.
