The Chattahoochee Tech Foundation recently awarded scholarships totaling $86,000 to deserving students at an awards reception held at the college's North Metro Campus. Jennifer Nelson, the Vice President of Advancement and Executive Director for the Chattahoochee Tech Foundation, expressed gratitude towards the donors, stating, "We greatly appreciate the generosity of our scholarship donors in helping to make college education an affordable reality for our students."

Nelson emphasized the impact of these scholarships on students' lives by stating, "These scholarships make a real difference in the lives of our students." She noted the challenging decisions students often face, saying, "When faced with increasing expenses or a sudden economic hardship, students are often forced to decide between continuing to invest in their education or devoting those funds to family needs or the general cost of living."

The scholarships, ranging from $500 to $2,500, were awarded to students from various programs at the college. Applicants were evaluated by the college's Board of Trustees, with the top candidates being matched with the appropriate scholarships. Recipients had to meet specific criteria, including GPA requirements, financial need, and enrollment in a certain number of credit hours.

The Chattahoochee Tech Foundation, a nonprofit organization, aims to provide financial support for Chattahoochee Technical College, its students, and programs.
