Your Gift's Impact

Today's students are tomorrow's leaders.

A gift to MTC is a gift to generations of bright, young minds. It's a gift to the future, not only of the college, but to our community, and to the state of South Carolina. MTC’s average tuition is about HALF what students might pay if they began their academic journeys at one of the four-year colleges or universities. When compared to for-profit institutions that provide career training in the Midlands, MTC’s cost is even more affordable.

Estate Plan

Including MTC in your estate plan is easy. Simply designate a portion (or specific dollar amount) of your estate to the foundation. Then, let us know. An estate gift can establish your legacy by supporting initiatives important to you and strengthening the community for generations to come.

Emergency Grants

Funding an emergency grant can make the difference in a student’s ability to earn a degree or certification. Think about a time when you had an unexpected expense and wondered how to cover the cost. MTC students who find “life gets in the way” often need just a little bit of help to stay on track toward completing their academic journeys.

Endowments

Funding an endowment serves as a “savings account” where only the investment earnings are eligible to be spent in support of the endowment’s purpose. Your gift truly lasts more than a lifetime.

Tax Benefits

Giving to MTC can provide for significant savings on taxes, especially if you have a 401(k) and are required to take an annual minimum distribution.

Give where you live.

The return on your investment is faster than any other higher education institution in the Midlands.

If you’ve been to the hospital, had your teeth cleaned, or had your car serviced in the Midlands, chances are you’ve already benefited from an MTC education. 

The ultimate goal at MTC is to shape a world-class workforce that increases the economic value and social vitality of our community. When you give to MTC, you are investing directly into the Midlands’ future.

  • 82% of MTC students live and work in Richland, Lexington, and Fairfield counties when they graduate.
  • Eight out of 10 MTC students rely on financial aid.
  • As public funding dwindles, the need for scholarships to close the affordability gap increases.
