“As a Board member, nothing is more important and satisfying than knowing our scholarships remove financial obstacles that would often keep a student from moving forward with their college plan,” shared FDLTCC Foundation board member, Peter Angelos, “Students in every program can benefit directly through our Scholarships and achieve success.”

Through its activities, the FDLTCC Foundation hopes to increase access to educational opportunities, improve the quality of life of students, and create an environment that will assist in building a stronger and richer community for the future.

Testimonials

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
