THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ATLANTA TECHNICAL COLLEGE FOUNDATION PROVIDED HANDS-ON TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO A STUDENT SIZE OF OVER 4000. NEEDS-BASED AND ACADEMIC-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS ARE GIVEN EACH QUARTER TO STUDENTS TO SUPPLEMENT EXPENSES RELATED TO THE COST OF THEIR ATTENDANCE AT ATC. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES ATC STUDENTS WITH IMMEDIATE FUNDING TO MEET UNUSUAL AND UNEXPECTED EXPENSES BEYOND THE ORDINARY EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES MET THROUGH FINANCIAL AID. THESE TYPES OF EXPENSES (E.G. TRANSPORTATION, MEDICAL, AND CHILD CARE) OFTEN SERVE AS BARRIERS TO GRADUATION.
