Scholarships are currently available for new high school graduates entering the Technical College System of Georgia who are pursuing manufacturing fields.
The Manufacturers Education Foundation, in partnership with American Made Movie and American Town LLC and the tech college system foundation, is funding $20,000 in scholarships this fall.
New students enrolling in automated manufacturing technology, engineering technology, electronics technology, industrial systems technology, industrial maintenance, electrical maintenance and mechatronics programs are eligible for the scholarships. Previously, the awards were only open to tech college students who had completed 15 hours in a manufacturing program.
“There is no greater need by manufacturers across our state than access to a pool of talent prepared to begin a career in manufacturing,” said Roy Bowen, president of the Georgia Association of Manufacturers. “To grow that pipeline of talent, the Georgia Association of Manufacturers and its member companies must make students, parents, teachers and counselors more aware of the rich career opportunities in manufacturing, and the support for continued education after beginning work.”
More information about the scholarships is available at 404-327-6918, and searching TCSG Foundation Scholarships.
