This growth is a testament to both increased donor generosity and the college’s rising enrollment. The college has experienced exceptional enrollment expansion, achieving a 27.3% annual enrollment increase from Academic Year 2022 to Academic Year 2025, marking ten consecutive semesters of growth through Fall 2025. This sustained growth demonstrates SRTC's expanding role in serving the educational needs of the region, while the Foundation's increased scholarship support ensures that financial barriers don't prevent deserving students from pursuing their career and educational goals.
