The students listed above have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and strive to put forth their best effort with every assignment, test, and exam. These students exemplify the qualities of a true Tiger. Be smart, work hard, and do the right thing!

Fort Hays Tech | Northwest is pleased to announce the receipt of funding from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation to support students enrolled in the Early College Program. This generous grant will provide essential tools, textbooks, protective equipment, and technology to help students succeed in their coursework and career aspirations, eliminating financial barriers that may otherwise hinder their education.

The Early College Program gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school, immersing them in a college learning experience. By taking college courses, students can accelerate their career paths and gain valuable skills early. One of the program’s most popular offerings is the Automotive Technology program.

Thanks to the funding from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, Fort Hays Tech | Northwest will purchase tool kits, required textbooks, and other necessary supplies that will be available for student rental at no cost. These resources are often a significant financial burden for students, particularly for those from low-income backgrounds, and this grant will ensure that these students can fully participate in the program without the worry of covering these essential costs.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Dane G. Hansen Foundation for their support,” said Brenna Henry, grant writer. “We can remove the financial obstacles that might prevent students from pursuing their educational and career goals.” 

This project exemplifies Northwest Tech’s ongoing commitment to providing accessible, high-quality education and to ensuring that all students, regardless of their financial situation, have the opportunity to succeed and advance in their careers.
