You make a difference.

Your gift may be the one thing that makes college a possibility for a student. Often our students face individual struggles and the Northwood Tech Foundation continues to provide important financial assistance to those we serve. Each year the Foundation awards hundreds of scholarships and is the key resource for emergency student grants and loans.

There are many ways you can help, from volunteering on the scholarship review committee, to establishing a scholarship or making a financial contribution. Regardless of how you give, your generosity is greatly appreciated by the Foundation and our students.

Not only did it provide me with the training I needed to succeed in my field, but it also helped me in developing the mindset to set and achieve goals.

A Pillar in the Community

Before Northwood Tech came to fruition, there was a vision to train a dynamic workforce over 100 years ago. 

  • 1912 - Industrial, Commercial, Continuing Evening School founded in Superior, one of the first technical schools in Wisconsin.
  • 1972 - The Wisconsin Indianhead Vocational, Technical and Adult Education District was created to serve NW Wisconsin.
  • 1978 - District name changed to Wisconsin Indianhead Technical Institute. 
  • 1987 - Name became Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College
  • 2021 - Name became Northwood Technical College

To remain a resource for individuals in the communities, Northwood Tech constantly evolves with current industry demands, providing reliable career preparation now and in the future.
