Mission:

Bates Technical College Foundation exists to support student and program success by securing resources through building community relationships and awareness.

About Us:

The Bates Technical College Foundation was established in 1993 as a 501c3 nonprofit organization by a small group of committed volunteers. Over the years, the Foundation has grown and now has a Board of Directors comprised of volunteers, and two college staff. In 2007, the Foundation took a significant leap forward, establishing its first endowed scholarship. Today, the Foundation has significantly increased its endowed scholarships. The Foundation awards over $125,000 in students scholarships each year and also supports the college through providing program support, mini grants, equipment donations, exceptional faculty awards, and more.
