What our supporters have to say about us! 

  Vicki Trone-Natwick 

 Human Services Instructor

Lunetta Helm

MATC Graduate

  Lori Guenther

Nursing Faculty

“Being a single parent, working and attending school full-time can be challenging. My income changed making it harder for me to meet the needs of my household. I felt like less of a mother at times. When I was losing hope the MATC FAST Fund helped me keep my faith. With the help of the FAST Fund, I am able to stay focused on school and be the best parent for my children. I am able to do all this with less worries and stresses. I appreciate the support that came along with the MATC FAST Fund.”

"The Fast Fund has been a gift to many of our students not only in the Human Services program but to MATC students in general.  It has provided that needed bridge to allow students to remain in school versus leaving because they didn’t have the money to pay their rent or pay for their car to be fixed.  Fast Fund has provided the help when needed allowing students to retain dignity without making them feel like they are asking for a handout."

​"I have witnessed first-hand the benefits of the FAST Fund and have received positive feedback from nursing students. Students have expressed gratitude for the opportunity and have been able to move forward in the nursing program. I have observed students succeed in accomplishing their goals of becoming a nurse. I am hopeful the FAST Fund will continue to grow and meet the needs of many well-deserved students at MATC."
