Carlson Potts Making Connections What does welding and glass blowing have in common? That’s a connection Carlson Potts wanted to explore. A sculptor who has drawn on welding in his artwork for a number of years, he originally moved to Tacoma for a job in the Hot Shop at the Museum of Glass in 2007. But the economic downturn motivated him to enhance his skills in the industrial side of welding. Now he’s on target to graduate this summer with an Associates of Technology degree. Even though he already holds a Bachelor’s in business and a Master’s in glassblowing from Temple University in Philadelphia, Bates fills a void in his career training. “If it weren’t for programs like this, the industry wouldn’t turn out the quality work that it currently does,” says Carlson. Although Carlson plans to continue with his artwork, he looks forward to having a higher position on the union list after he finishes the program at Bates and gets certified for structural welding for pipes. “Because of Bates, I will be able to get a job with a prevailing wage and premium benefits.”

Paying for college Tuition for Bates’ 53 Career Education programs varies by program and programs vary in duration. Quarterly tuition ranges from $1,079.28 to $1,946.41. To get tuition information on the specific program that interests you, see http://www.bates. ctc.edu/eo/CareerTraining/pdf/tuition. pdf or call 253.680.7019. Financial Aid Financial aid is available for eligible students. Students and their families do not necessarily need to be considered low-income to qualify for some kinds of financial aid, but students must demonstrate financial need to be eligible for federal assistance. Even if you’re receiving financial assistance from agency sources (L&I, VA, DVR, WorkSource, WorkFirst), you may be eligible for additional grant aid from state and federal financial aid sources. We determine eligibility by comparing the difference between the cost of attending school and what you and your family can afford to pay. Apply Early Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid as early as possible since prequalification may take up to eight weeks from your application submission date. Award of financial aid notification is by mail and begins in the month of July. Financial aid is intended to supplement, not replace, a person’s resources. If your combined resources aren’t sufficient to cover expenses, you may be eligible for financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, low-interest loans, or work study employment. Information submitted on the financial aid form determines your eligibility for grants, scholarships, work study and lowinterest loans. Students should plan to use personal resources to buy books and supplies prior to their first financial aid disbursement. Eligibility for Financial Aid A student is eligible for financial aid if he or she is: • Attending Bates to obtain a degree or certificate • A U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen • Making satisfactory progress in a
program of study, as defined by the institution’s satisfactory progress criteria • Not in default on any previous student loans or owing a refund on any grant • Registered for the draft with Selective Service if required by law • A high school graduate, a GED completer, or earn passing scores on the COMPASS exam Grants, Loans & Scholarships As a service to students, Bates Technical College financial aid office provides a list that includes many lending institutions (www.bates.ctc.edu/financialaid). The college does not have a preferred lender list nor does it restrict students to any particular lender. We encourage each student and/or parent borrower to research and make an informed lender choice. Bates Technical College does not participate in revenue sharing with any lender nor does it have an agreement for referrals with any lending institution. Grants Federal Pell Grant* $400 to $4,000/year - For undergraduate students (federal) Federal Supplemental* $100 to $300/year - For undergraduate students (federal) WA State Need Grant* $1,251 to $2,502 + $780 daycare allowance - For undergraduate students (state) 3.5 Percent Fund* Amount varies - For full- and part-time students (institutional) *Grant amounts and the availability of funds are subject to change Loan Programs Federal Maximum 1st year: $3,500 Subsidized - Deferred repayment and fixed interest rates Maximum 2nd year: $4,500 Subsidized - Deferred repayment and fixed interest rates Amount varies Unsubsidized - Deferred repayment and fixed interest rates Federal Plus Loan Maximum loan can cover cost of education; a non-need based program for parents of undergraduate dependent

Foundation FAQs Who can apply for Foundation scholarships? All Bates students registered in degree and certificate programs are eligible to apply for scholarships. Some scholarships are open to all students while others are limited to specific programs. Please read each scholarship announcement to determine eligibility. Can I apply for a scholarship if I receive financial aid? Yes. We encourage you to apply for scholarships even if you are receiving financial aid. But any funds you receive as a scholarship are deducted from your financial aid budget. I already have a degree. May I still apply for a scholarship? Yes. Previous educational experience does not disqualify you from applying for scholarships through the Foundation. Can I apply for a scholarship even if I received one in a previous quarter? Yes. We encourage you to apply for scholarships each quarter. I already receive funding for tuition. Why should I apply for a scholarship? Some scholarships provide funding for tuition as well as books and supplies. If an outside agency covers your tuition and supplies, you are not eligible to apply for scholarships. If an agency pays tuition only, you may apply for scholarships to help pay for books and supplies. How do I use my scholarship for books and supplies? If a scholarship provides for books and supplies, students have two options: • The Bates Bookstore will establish an account for you to charge books and supplies. You submit all receipts to the Foundation Office, M332, downtown campus. • If you want to purchase books and supplies elsewhere, seek Foundation approval before you make your purchase. Submit your signed receipts along with documentation signed by your instructor verifying that the books and supplies are relevant to the training. The Bates Foundation then reimburses you by check.
Bates Technical College Foundation The Bates Technical College Foundation makes connections. It connects our students, faculty and programs with valuable community resources so that financial need doesn’t become a barrier to meeting educational goals.

In Kind Donations Many of our areas of study are highly specialized and require up-to-date equipment.

These items will assist us in meeting the needs of students who have limited financial resources. If you have a donation you think might be useful for one of our programs or have questions about our specific needs, please contact us.

David Cubean Bates Foundation Believer “The Bates Foundation showed they believed in me, and this helped me to believe in myself,” says David Cubean. The Legal Office Assistant student received three scholarships in a year. David didn’t have a male role model growing up, and his mother passed away before he was 18. He later enlisted in the Army. Then, during a field exercise, he had an accident that left him in a wheelchair for nearly a year. Soon after that, David met his future wife who kept him on the straight and narrow. “Although the road has been long and hard, it has been more than worth the effort it took to get me here,” says David. Through the process of applying for scholarships, David found they weren’t just for the people who earned straight A’s. “I didn’t realize the variety of scholarships Bates offers. The selection criteria vary with each scholarship,” he says. “When I talk with new students about my experience with scholarships, they rush to apply when the Foundation announces them.” Winning scholarships served as a catalyst for David to get involved in student activities. “I attended leadership seminars, conferences and became active in class,” he says. “Last year, I was president of the Legal Club. Receiving scholarships set the tone for me to volunteer for college activities— to give back to the college and other students, especially new students.” David’s passion for learning has given him a sense of direction. “Receiving scholarships motivated me to work hard and get involved in school. I am committed to doing my best and excelling, thanks to the Bates Foundation.”

General Education To satisfy degree and certificate requirements, students need to complete certain general education (GE) classes. Career specialists and faculty can help you create an education plan that will keep you on track for your goals. Contact a career specialist or visit www.bates.ctc.edu/ academics for more information on course descriptions and pre-requisites. General education courses are open to career education students, high school students and others pursuing college credit or preparatory goals and include college-level and college-preparatory courses. COMPASS scores and the course work help determine pre-requisites you need to complete. Some students may need to build basic skills in mathematics, reading or writing before taking a general education course. Associate degrees and certificates of competency require completion of a specific number and distribution of pre-college and college-level GE courses. Requirements vary depending on the career education program, the credential, and the track a student chooses to pursue. Students should plan to take at least one GE or basic studies course each quarter until they meet the GE requirement for their intended credential. Bates Technical College has implemented Common Course Numbering to make course transfer among the state’s 34 community and technical colleges as easy as possible for students, advisors and receiving institutions.

Home & Family Life Ben Olson Expert Parenting “When I came to Bates as a firsttime parent five-and-a-half years ago, I was looking for classes on early education,” says Ben Olson. “I found the answer with Bates’ Home and Family Life classes.” Ben enjoyed the courses so much that he continued to enroll and became active in his local cooperative preschool in Wapato. This year, he’s president of the co-op. “During the past few years, I have been helping other parents with their kids. I feel like a mentor to them,” says Ben. “I understand what new parents are going through because I’ve been there. Bates gave my wife and me information and a safe place to talk with others who are going through similar issues,” he says. From green parenting classes to courses on fathering, Ben is a believer that education is the key to success. “Sometimes it’s nice to know you’re not alone and can bounce ideas off of others. Bates is a great place to not just learn about parenting, but to grow as a person and a parent,” he says.

Bates helps light up your holiday season This winter, Bates Technical College students will help turn on the holiday cheer at two of South Sound’s largest holiday light displays. Thanks to David Ellis, an Electrical Power and Process Automation student, The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium’s 21st annual Zoolights will use several updated controllers that supply the stop-action animation in displays. Across town at the 14th annual Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park, a group of Bates students have created two long-necked sauropods that will transport spectators back to prehistoric times. The dinosaurs reach 15 feet into the night sky and will greet cars as they travel through the sparkling displays. This shining example of teamwork represents the 13th consecutive year that Bates students in the welding, electronic equipment service, biomedical equipment repair and commercial truck driving career education programs have added fun, colorful and unique displays.
