Giving Opportunities
More than 60% of Pulaski Technical College’s students rely on financial aid through scholarships, grants and loans, while 90% work full- or part-time. With a somewhat small allocation from the state, tuition and fees must generate almost half of Pulaski Tech’s operating costs, whereas most colleges’ student fees account for a mere 20% of their budgets. As you can see, Pulaski Tech depends on assistance from other funding sources. We are grateful for gifts like yours to help fill the gaps and provide superior services for our students.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Pulaski Technical College is near to completing its capital campaign to help fund the Business of Technology Center which opened in January 2011 on the college’s main campus in North Little Rock. The total $6 million investment has allowed a substantial increase in enrollment in certificate and degree programs in the Division of Business.
PROGRAM SUPPORT
Pulaski Technical College invests in additional cultural, scholastic and social activities that enable students to engage in and enjoy the camaraderie of the college culture, and to have access to additional academic and personal support.
SPONSORSHIPS
Pulaski Technical College Foundation hosts two major special events each year – the “Business of Art” in April and the “Diamond Chef Arkansas” in June. Sponsorship funding provides support for Fine Arts and the Arkansas Culinary School or is added to the ongoing capital campaign.
SCHOLARSHIPS

The Foundation oversees established scholarship funds and awards more than 100 scholarships to students who qualify each academic year.
