This week is Uintah Basin Technical College’s first annual Giving Week, a chance to give money for student scholarships. The school has extended the following invitation: “Alumni, current students, faculty and staff, and all who are endeared to the college, are invited to be part of this wonderful opportunity,” states Mark Dockins, vice president of development for UBTech. Giving Week started on Monday and will go through Saturday with one hundred percent of all funds collected going towards student scholarships. Each dollar goes a long way towards education as UBTech’s low tuition rates make a technical education affordable, as each $10 donated a student receives 5 hours of instruction. Student scholarship donations can be made in numerous ways. Participate on the UBTech website at ubtech.edu, by clicking on “Giving Week” located under “Campus Info”, visit a local business listed on the website and give to a UBTech scholarship stocking, or participate on Venmo (@ubtech-foundation).
