A large donation from a local bank will allow Butler County Community College to continue educational programs for students of all ages.
NexTier Bank recently made a $20,000 gift through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program to the College’s Education Foundation.
Some of that money will be used for BC3’s Stock Market Game which teaches financial literacy to 1,600 students as young as fifth grade at 10 western Pennsylvania counties.
The rest of the donation will be put towards BC3’s College Within the High School Program that offers college-level courses in a variety subjects as well as study, note taking, and time-management skills. This program was utilized by nearly 500 sophomores, juniors and seniors across seven counties last year.
