LTC Partners Donates $20K to College Scholarship Fund
Great Bay Community College's scholarship fund receives money from company with a long history of supporting higher education.
Great Bay Community College received a $20,000 donation for its scholarship fund last week from LTC Partners (LTCP) at the college’s Distinguished Leaders Dinner at Wentworth by the Sea in New Castle. The contribution was announced by Paul Forte, CEO of LTC Partners.
The gift came in two parts: the first a promised $10,000 donation to the fund. Then when GBCC president Will Arvelo announced that thecollege was only $25,000 away from its $400,000 goal, Forte announced another $10,000 gift - and challenged others in the room to do the same.
The event, which featured guest speaker John Ratzenberger, the actor who portrayed postman Cliff Clavin of TV’s Cheers - raises funds to assist students who would otherwise be unable to attend college, and train them for New Hampshire’s workforce.

This year’s dinner highlighted skilled manufacturing and Great Bay’s efforts to develop curriculum and programs geared toward placing graduates with local manufacturing businesses. Next year’s event, for which LTCP is slated to be a primary sponsor, will focus on similar programs Great Bay expects to offer to prepare students for working in the insurance industry.
”We at LTC Partners were proud to be part of such a wonderful event and to support the great work of Great Bay Community College,” said Forte.
