The SOWELA Technical Community College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to supporting student access and success by providing supplemental resources to enhance education and training, to support instructional excellence, to promote career opportunities, and to meet workforce needs in Southwest Louisiana.

Make an impact in the life of an individual student or on the campus of SOWELA Technical Community College. Either way, you're inspiring others to reach their potential through education and training opportunities that without your support would not be possible.

The Foundation supports the College through:

• Scholarships
  • NOW Scholarship: Donors can create and name a NOW Scholarship with a one-time minimum contribution of $4,000. Once the proceeds from the NOW Scholarship is awarded to a student(s), the fund is depleted and the scholarship ends.
  • Endowed Scholarship: Donors can create and name an Endowed Scholarship by making a one-time or pledged contribution (payable over a 3-year period) of a $10,000 minimum gift. Once the minimum endowment level of $10,000 has been reached, the funds are invested for one year. After one year, the interest earned from the funds may then be awarded to the student(s). The principle will remain intact in perpetuity. Funds may be added to the named endowed scholarship at any time.
• Professorships
• Faculty & Staff Professional Development
• Technology and Equipment
• Program Enhancements
• Student Emergency Fund

Every dollar given goes directly to the College and helps provide students a high-quality comprehensive education.

Making a contribution to SOWELA Technical Community College Foundation provides funding for program improvements and increases student access to education and training opportunities. People like you help to make the SOWELA experience possible for many individuals. We are very grateful for your support.
