Meet two hardworking, highly motivated recipients of the Student Emergency Fund, Farzad Ketabi and Jessica McCarther. Both of their lives and many other LWTech students have been transformed thanks to generous donors like YOU! 

The Student Emergency Fund exists to ensure no students has to choose between staying in school or dropping out in the event of an unplanned emergency.

62% of Student Emergency Fund recipients reported they were likely to drop out of school if they had not received the funds.

Again this year, entrepreneurs and longtime LWTech donors, Jim Kinsella and Bob McNeal, are spearheading a generous $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge for the Student Emergency Fund at LWTech to ensure no students have to drop out of school due to unanticipated emergencies. Jim and Bob have doubled their impact and you can too!
