The greenhouse project will restore an<br \/>important facility for our programs, and the financial aid dollars mean that a student\u2019s ability to participate at<br \/>MBIT will not be determined by what their family can afford. We are grateful to everyone who made this possible,\u201d said Dr. Mark Covelle, administrative director, Middle Bucks Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n<p>Added Dr. Jan Solkov, chairperson, MBIT Education Foundation, \u201cAs a relatively new organization, we are thrilled to be able to donate $100,000 to MBIT. It is completely aligned with our mission to raise funds that will support the programs and students of the school, such as the Greenhouse Project, Student Financial Needs Fund, and innovative educational programs. We hope that the community will continue to donate to our non-profit MBIT Education Foundation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the MBITEF or to contribute and support future young skilled professionals, visit<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbitedfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">mbitedfoundation.org\/<\/a> or email foundation@mbit.org.<\/p>\n<p>Students enrolled at MBIT come from the following sending districts: Central Bucks, Centennial, Council Rock and New Hope-Solebury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The funds are designated for Educational Improvement activities at the school, supporting the development and delivery of programs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-224966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
