Our Students
When a student earns an education at Ozarks Tech, the impact reaches far beyond the classroom. Your support helps students start careers sooner, strengthen Missouri’s workforce, and create lasting change for their families and communities.
Investing in Success
Our students are hard working learners from all backgrounds of life. An investment in an Ozarks Tech student helps them achieve their dreams with resources they have proven will lead to success.
Your gift may support a mother juggling family and academic responsibilities, or a first generation college student pursuing higher education without any family support. Foundation recipients have clearly demonstrated that they are a case for success.
- Scholarship recipients: 2X as likely to graduate than those without support
- 3.15 GPA on average, nearly a full grade point higher than their peers
- 91% are employed or pursuing a bachelor’s degree after graduation
- 95% of graduates remain in Missouri for their career journey
- 68% are working while attending college
I am truly grateful for your support and encouragement
Your generous support means so much and will help me to continue pursuing my education and career goals. This scholarship has eased a big financial burden and motivates me to work even harder toward my dreams. It allows me to focus more on my studies and less on financial stress. This contribution is making a real difference in my life, and I hope to be able to give back to others in the future. Thank you again for your belief in my potential and the path toward success. I am truly grateful for your support and encouragement.
