About
Bowling Green Technical College, located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, was founded in 1939 through a joint venture between the National Youth Administration and Western Kentucky State Teacher's College. The school was originally known as Western Trade School and was a NYA training facility for industrial workers and Armed Service personnel. This lasted until the end of World War II, after which the school was released by the federal government to the state. By 1962 the school became an independent institution. In 1968 the school moved to a new permanent location, with additional buildings and land added over the next two decades. The school is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.

Academics
Bowling Green Technical College provides a number of programs that provide career training or academic transfer opportunities. Such programs aim to meet the needs of the community and assist students in the pursuit of their goals. Career training programs offer the skills and ability development necessary to perform as professionals in a given field. Programs take between one and two years to complete and result in either an associate degree or certificate. Students may pursue employment at the entry level after graduation. Academic transfer programs allow students to complete the first two years of a four year education, followed by transfer to a four year institution to complete a bachelor's degree. Individuals are advised to meet with a counselor to plan the curriculum that best fulfills the transfer requirements of the school or school's desired. Transfer to Kentucky public four  year college or university is facilitated by agreements in place that allow for ease of admission if certain guidelines are followed.

Admissions and Financial Aid
Bowling Green Technical College is an open enrollment institution that allows student who meet the minimum requirements for admission to enroll if they submit the application for admission. Students should provide transcripts and test scores, as well as take a placement exam to ensure they meet minimum general education requirements for registration. Student orientation and a meeting with a counselor prior to the start of their first semester are encouraged, allowing the student to outline goals and curriculum necessities. Registration begins prior to the start of each semester, with fees due shortly after registration is completed.

Financial aid is available in the form of loans and grants.. Students in need of financial assistance must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which will be used to determine financial needs, program eligibility and awards. Due to national regulations students may be randomly selected by the school to provide extra documentation to ensure the accuracy of the FAFSA prior to the disbursement of funds. Financial aid must be reapplied for prior to the start of each academic due to changes in tax and financial information of a given student and his or her family in a given year.
