Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is encouraging prospective students across Northwest Georgia to take the first step toward a new career by applying free of charge during the month of December.

As part of a limited-time promotion, GNTC is waiving its application fee for anyone who applies now through the end of December. Students can take advantage of the offer by using the code FREEAPP26 when submitting their application.

College officials say the initiative is designed to remove barriers for students who may be considering technical education but have delayed applying. With programs ranging from healthcare and public safety to skilled trades, business, and technology, GNTC provides career-focused education aligned with workforce needs across the region.

The free application period comes at a time when many people are planning for the new year and exploring opportunities to gain new skills, change careers, or advance in their current field. GNTC serves multiple communities throughout Northwest Georgia and offers hands-on training, flexible class options, and pathways to in-demand jobs.

Prospective students are encouraged to apply before the end of December to take advantage of the fee waiver and begin planning for upcoming semesters.
