Aiken Technical College and its non-profit foundation have announced plans for the annual scholarship fundraiser. The event will also kick off activities for the school’s 50th anniversary.
“The event proceeds directly benefit the student scholarship fund at Aiken Technical College,” said ATC Foundation Director Dr. Beth LaClair.
LaClair said the foundation awards more than $140,000 in scholarships each year. Last year’s fundraiser was a virtual event because of COVID-19. It raised just over $28,000.
Tuition for Aiken County residents is $189 per credit hour. The college also extends that tuition to residents of Richmond and Columbia Counties.

This year’s event will be in-person, on campus at the Center for Energy and Advanced Manufacturing facility on Sept. 1 from 6 – 8 p.m. It will include a reception, entertainment and a raffle.
“Tickets for general admission are $50.72 and $25.72 for alumni, faculty, staff, and retirees. The 72 cents is a way to commemorate the college’s founding in 1972 and kick-off to the college’s 50th anniversary in 2022,” said LaClair.
