MPTC Receives $1.3 Million Grant
One city. Two colleges. Two days. Now $2.6 Million. Moraine Park Technical College has announced they have received a 5-year, $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to continue its Student Support Services Program. The program, known at MPTC as EDGE, helps students who are low-income, first-generation college attendees. This is the third consecutive grant Moraine Park has received. It also comes just one day after Marian University announced they had received a 5-year grant as well, worth $1.3 million.
