(Marietta, Ga. – April 17, 2015) The Chattahoochee Tech Foundation honored the recipients of 30 different scholarships to students at the largest technical college in Georgia at a recent reception. The 58 winners, who represent a wide variety of the programs offered at Chattahoochee Technical College, will be able to use the money and items received toward achieving their educational and career goals.
“These scholarships represent the essence of the partnership between the community and the college,” said Chattahoochee Tech Foundation Executive Director Melanie Lambert. “Each scholarship is the direct result of the commitment of a company, organization, family or individual to the students and their efforts. We are extremely pleased to see both an increase in the number of students receiving these awards and the number of scholarships available to them.”
The winners of all the scholarships competed against more than 150 applicants from Chattahoochee Technical College.
