Scholarships are often the difference between choosing college or not. Students rely on scholarships to alleviate the financial burden of college so they can pursue their academic and professional goals.
The first scholarships offered at Durham Tech were funded by outside organizations who hoped to make college more accessible and affordable.
In 1967, the American Fund for Dental Education provided one of the first scholarships at Durham Tech, providing 11 scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000.
One year later, nursing students were offered the Crawford-Clark Scholarship that was administered by North Carolina Memorial Hospital.
Businesses like Ford Motor Company, Pilot Club, Alturusa Club, City of Durham, NC Society of Accountant also offered scholarships to Durham Tech students.
By 1982, former president Dr. Phail Wynn, Jr., created the Durham Tech Foundation to manage, develop, and oversee student scholarships.
Chair and CEO of O’Brien Atkins Associates, John Atkins and his wife Sandra Atkins both attended Durham Tech. Together with the President and COO Kevin Montgomery, the firm supported the College by establishing the first internal scholarship with the Foundation.
As Durham natives, the firm wanted to give back locally and invest in students at Durham Tech who were interested in pursuing an architectural career.

The wake-up call came in January 2011.
It was Durham Tech’s 50th anniversary and former president Dr. Bill Ingram called for a “Year of Service” to celebrate – encouraging students and employees to participate in volunteer opportunities and service learning.
To kick off the year, the Durham Tech Student Senate, now Student Government Association, distributed 50 bags of food to students during the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Event.
All 50 bags were gone in 10 minutes.

When the COVID-19 pandemic slowed down college enrollment around the country, Cosmetic Arts programs at Durham Tech flourished – growing more than 300% since 2019.
Maria Steele, Director of Cosmetics Arts at Durham Tech, said it was likely due to a growing interest in entrepreneurship after so many people lost their jobs.
“COVID affected so many large businesses, that people wanted to start working for themselves, and becoming a cosmetologist allows them to specialize in multiple areas and become entrepreneurs,” she said. “You will always be able to make money in this industry because cosmetologists can do anything. You will never be stagnant. You can always reinvent yourself. It's such a versatile field, you can be an independent contractor at different salons and do everything.”
Steele is the driving force behind all Cosmetic Arts programs at the College, including cosmetology, esthetics, and manicuring – an industry that has remained resilient through both a recession and pandemic.

Kevin G. Montgomery peered down at a miniature model of the Durham Tech main campus and pointed to a number of places where future buildings and a plaza are slated to go.
Montgomery, the President and Chief Operating Officer at O’Brien Atkins Associates, has been involved in nearly 30 years of renovation and reinvigoration projects for Durham Tech. His architecture firm has redesigned several buildings on the main campus off Lawson Street and in recent years has taken on the master strategic plans for future capital growth on all three Durham Tech campuses.

Former Durham Tech staff member Edward Moore received an honorary associate degree in Applied Science in Business Administration from Durham Tech at the College’s May 7, 2024, Commencement ceremony.
Moore spent much of his work life at Durham Tech, and his years of service helped set precedent for future growth of the school’s footprint and student body.
“I am proud of my time at the College, and I am humbled to have been there long enough to have seen much growth and improvement. When I started in 1972, the College had two buildings — White and Collins. The growth in facilities and student body has been incredible,” Moore said. “In all my years and different appointments, I enjoyed myself immensely. I had a passion for the diversity of our student body.”

“With the move, we invested in family," Bullock said. “My wife and I got to know the essence and realness of being Mom and Dad. It saved our family.”
Bullock and his wife, Camillie, became immersed in growing their church, Haven of Hope Covenant, from 13 members to one that now welcomes more than 600 members.
In addition to growing their church, the Bullocks reared their children and became involved with Durham Tech. Each of the children were homeschooled until 10th grade when five of the seven began Durham Tech’s Middle College, with two of them giving the Commencement speeches at their Middle College graduations. The remaining two children attended Durham Tech in other capacities and the ties to Durham Tech didn’t stop with the Bullocks’ children. Camillie attended Durham Tech, and she received a President's Scholarship toward her ministry studies.
