TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) 100 Plus Women Who Care Vigo County donated $9500 to the Ivy Tech Terre Haute Foundation.
The money will be used to support Ivy Tech’s laptop scholarship program.
It provides free, brand-new laptops to students who qualify.
This helps students who might have been using an old or borrowed laptop or even doing their homework on their phone because they had no other device.
“We found the success for these students to continue on was just incredible actually and it was a real help for students and just something we thought was important,” Vice Chancellor of Student Success Nina Storey said. “The support from 100 Plus Women Who Care is tremendous because it’s gonna help us continue on and just allow us to offer more scholarships.”
Storey says around 200 students received laptops this past semester.
