BTC receives nearly $650,000 from National Science Foundation

To help strengthen Bellingam Technical College’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, the National Science Foundation awarded the school a nearly $650,000 scholarship grant.

BTC says over the course of five years, 36 low-income, academically talented students will receive scholarships to help connect them with regional engineering technology communities.

The college says this project is thanks to a partnership with Bellingham Makerspace, Western Washington University and the Port of Bellingham.
