About Us

Supporting Students,
Transforming Lives

As the demand for skilled professionals continues to rise, the Horry-Georgetown Technical College Foundation steps up to bridge the gap left by stagnant state funding. With over 90% of our students hailing from the local area, the Foundation plays a pivotal role in ensuring that financial barriers do not impede their pursuit of quality education. Our proactive efforts ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the local economy.
