The Durham County Board of Commissioners approved a 2022-23 fiscal year budget Monday night that provides scholarship support for Durham Tech students entering a robust labor market and reinforces the College’s plans to build strong life sciences career pathways to local industries.
The budget provides $9,743,434 for Durham Technical Community College, an increase of $789,268 allotted since last year’s budget cycle.

The commissioners' investments provide needed scholarships and pathways to jobs for Durham residents, economic development support for this community, and a pipeline of diverse talent for the region's employers," Buxton said.
