A "State-Assisted" Institution - While the state of Kentucky can provide funding for the basic operations, the types of
academic opportunities and enhancements that make BGTC truly exceptional must come from private resources.
Private-sector funds provide the margin of excellence in meeting the BGTC-mandated mission to enhance the quality of life and
employability of our community's citizens.
"Considering credit courses only... 44% of all undergraduates and 46% of all first-time freshman attend
two-year public colleges, but two-year public colleges receive less than 1% of the private contributions to
higher education."
