Keeping the Promise:
General Giving and Scholarships
Montgomery College Fund
In the Washington Metropolitan Area, communities and businesses
are benefiting from more than just an adequately funded public
community college. Many of Montgomery College’s greatest
intellectual, economic, cultural and civic contributions to the
area are made possible through private dollars.
A gift to the Montgomery College Fund ensures that your gift will
be directed to where the need is greatest – tuition for deserving
but financially challenged students; support for faculty development
and curricula enhancements; or even travel funds so that students
can say yes when invited to participate in national competitions.
You can sustain excellence, fund a dream, or open a door when you
make a donation to the Montgomery College Fund.
Scholarships
A college education opened your eyes, touched your heart, and
inspired you to help shape the future – yours, your community’s,
our world. Someone remarkable, someone like you, is ready to follow
your lead. He or she lacks only financial capability.
You can give that person his or her chance.
Create a scholarship. Touch a life. Keep the promise.
The average annual cost for tuition and fees at Montgomery
College in 2004 for a full-time student living in Montgomery
County is $3,500. |
Setting up a scholarship at Montgomery College is easy and affordable.
A
Development Officer will be happy to answer questions and walk
you through the process.

Keeping the Promise:
Capital and Program Support
Health Sciences, Student Life and
the Arts at Takoma Park/Silver
Spring Campus
In the heart of Montgomery County’s first “Arts and
Entertainment District,” Montgomery College’s Takoma
Park/ Silver Spring Campus is undergoing a transformation. Three
new buildings and a bridge now connect the original, and oldest
campus to the newly acquired land on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.
A new Health Sciences Center houses the groundbreaking Community
Clinic supported by professionals from Holy Cross Hospital. Private
support will enable the college to expand nursing and related health
programs, enroll more students, and directly impact the quality
of health care for all residents.
A new Cultural Arts Center, coming in 2009, will be the new “Gateway
to Silver Spring,” located at the boundary between Washington
DC and Maryland on Georgia Avenue. Your gift to this new center
will broaden community programming; provide seed support for partnerships
with high schools, universities, and arts organizations; bring
professional performances to the community; and launch programs
for underserved, ethnically diverse, or economically challenged
youth.
These new facilities are the first new buildings to be constructed
on this campus in 30 years. Exceptional opportunities exist to
inspire and support new programs in partnership with the community
to bring outstanding higher education programs to residents in
the Greater Washington area. Named gift opportunities are available
in each new facility.

Gudelsky II Initiative
The Homer S. Gudelsky Institute for Technical Education opened
in 1993 to educate and train students pursuing technical occupations.
Still the only facility of its kind in the State of Maryland, the
Gudelsky Institute continues to build a strong and growing technical
workforce. Gudelsky Institute faculty have customized and conducted
training programs for more than 3,000 businesses and nonprofit
organizations in the county and around the region. The apprenticeship
program trains 10 percent of all registered technician apprentices
in Maryland. More than 50 percent of the students enrolled in the
automotive program academic classes are new to the career, demonstrating
its impact in bringing new employees into the industry.
Montgomery College’s capacity to educate and train more students
within our existing facilities is now overburdened. With private
support of $7.5 million, a second technical trades building can
be constructed to directly and immediately increase technician
training in Montgomery County.
