Several Padnos College of Engineering & Computing students received scholarships this academic year thanks to the generosity of individual and corporate donors. In a year marred by COVID-19, this scholarship support meant more than ever and helped many students stay on-track in their Computing, Engineering, and Occupational Safety & Health Management programs despite the economic recession and growing financial need.
So, from all of us in PCEC, THANK YOU, DONORS, for your support of our students! Many individual students shared with us the positive impact that their scholarships have had on them this year; select quotes below.
