At Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, we believe in transforming potential into purpose. Through hands-on learning, applied skills, and direct pathways to high-demand careers, our students build brighter futures from day one. Enrollment continues to grow, now serving nearly 1,500 students across 24 high-wage, high-demand programs.

Today, be a part of their story. Your support can open doors, change lives, and build Pennsylvania’s future workforce.

Why Your Gift Matters

More than 90% of our students rely on financial aid, and many depend on scholarships to stay enrolled. Your support provides tuition, books, tools, housing, and meals for students who are working hard to build their futures. These aren’t just educational costs — they are the foundation of stability, access, and opportunity.

This year, your gift goes even further. Our goal is to raise $400,000 in just 24 hours, and thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, gifts made to Thaddeus Stevens College Foundation during ExtraGive will be matched, doubling your impact for Thaddeus Stevens College students.

When you Give Like Thad, every dollar is amplified, every barrier lowered, and every opportunity expanded.
