Scholarship Luncheon

The Foundation assists students through various scholarship opportunities. The recipients of these scholarships represent a cross-section of talented individuals from Piedmont Technical College's academic programs. These scholarships help to retain the best and brightest talent for our local work force and provide educational opportunities to those who otherwise may not have been able to attend college. Scholarship recipients are recognized each spring with a luncheon.

Cornerstone Society

The Cornerstone Society is an association of friends of the college who support the college through various estate planning tools and techniques. These society members are honored with a reception each May. In recognition of their support of Piedmont Technical College, members of the Cornerstone Society were recognized at the recent event. Two area businesses were also honored for their contributions to the college.

Legislative BBQ

Annually, the Piedmont Technical College Foundation hosts a barbecue dinner for local, state and federal legislators to raise awareness of PTC’s vital role in the work force development of South Carolina’s Lakelands region. Legislators and PTC officials discuss the college’s essential function in the region, South Carolina’s current economic status and how the budget deficits would affect the services provided by technical colleges.
