The WTI Foundation is a public, non-profit charity that is entirely supported by tax-deductible donations.  We are governed by an independent board of volunteer directors, who oversee our fundraising and scholarship granting endeavors.  Since 2001, the WTI Foundation has awarded over two million dollars in academic scholarships to students.

Our supporters include transportation service industry leaders, many private companies who employ service technicians, WyoTech alumni and employees, and numerous individuals who believe in technical education.
