The UA-Pulaski Technical College Foundation said Monday that it received $315,000 from the Windgate Foundation to put toward equipment at the college’s Center for Humanities and Arts and general annual scholarships.
“We are thrilled to announce this wonderful gift from The Windgate Foundation in support of our students and their education,” Shannon Boshears, vice chancellor of advancement and UA-PTC Foundation executive director, said in a news release. “Because of their generosity, our students are offered opportunities which they may never be able to have otherwise.
“Many lives have been changed as a result of the continued support from The Windgate Foundation over the past several years here at UA-PTC — from our students to the community in general. They have all benefited from these opportunities.”
After a gift in support of the Center for Humanities and Arts’ capital campaign in 2015, the college named the art gallery in the center The Windgate Gallery. The gallery hosts nationally touring exhibitions, as well as local artist and student competitive shows year-round. The center’s theater also hosts critically acclaimed and popular performing arts such as dance, music, film and theatrical productions.
In 2018, the Windgate Foundation funded a $1 million dollar general scholarship endowment for the UA-PTC Foundation, which was the college’s largest endowed scholarship to date.
