The Chattahoochee Tech Foundation honored student scholarship recipients with an awards presentation held Friday, April 23, at the North Metro Campus in Acworth. Socially distanced award presentations were staggered throughout the morning out of an abundance of caution because of the pandemic.
“We are very grateful for the generosity of our scholarship donors,” said Chattahoochee Technical College President Dr. Ron Newcomb. “Through their support, they are helping to make a college education an affordable reality for students at Chattahoochee Tech.
Scholarships awards ranged from $500 to $2,500, with the total value of the scholarships valued at $110,300, according to Chattahoochee Tech Advancement Coordinator Amanda Henderson. “The students receiving these scholarships represent a wide variety of programs at Chattahoochee Tech,” said Henderson. “They will be able to make good use of these awards to advance their educational and career goals.”
Scholarship winners competed against hundreds of student applicants through the college. The college’s Board of Trustees scored the recipients, and then the top applicants were matched with the appropriate scholarship. In addition to meeting the special criteria for certain scholarships, applicants must meet specific GPA requirements, demonstrate financial need, and be enrolled for a certain number of credit hours.
