Here\u2019s how it works: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Every dollar employees give goes directly to students for scholarships and emergency funding.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees can give a one-time gift through cash, check, or credit card; or they can give a recurring gift through payroll deduction.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each employee chooses their desired amount to give and where they want their money to go \u2013 Student Emergency Fund, where it\u2019s needed most, or a specific scholarship.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The impact of employee giving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, over the past 10-plus years, 85% of NWTC employees contributed to the Employee Giving Campaign. This year, employees gave a total of $100,000 toward scholarships and emergency funding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees give to help make college possible for students. Scholarships and emergency funding impact many students like Colleen, a 2023 graduate of NWTC\u2019s Practical Nursing program who is currently earning her associate degree in nursing at NWTC. She says, \u201cThose people that believed in me, [and] that said \u2018yes\u2019 to those Foundation scholarships \u2013 their \u2018yes\u2019 really changed the course of my life.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the testimonials below from NWTC employees about why they participate in employee giving.
