Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is accepting applications for the 2026 Latin American Association-Mohawk Scholarships until October 31. These scholarships, supported by the Latin American Association (LAA) and Mohawk Industries Inc., are available for students involved in the Hispanic community who graduated from high schools in Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, or Whitfield Counties.

Up to six scholarships will be awarded for the spring 2026 semester.

Lauretta Hannon, executive director of Institutional Advancement at GNTC, expressed gratitude for the support from LAA and Mohawk, highlighting its positive impact on students’ dreams. GNTC is recognized as an Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution and as Hispanic student enrollment grows, the LAA-Mohawk Scholarships become increasingly important.

The scholarships, worth $1,000 each, will go towards tuition, fees, and other educational expenses, with selections made based on need and merit. Applicants must meet county residency requirements and demonstrate involvement in the Hispanic community, possess U. S. citizenship or legal residency status, be in good standing at GNTC, and complete a 250-500 word essay on how the scholarship would assist them financially. The LAA aims to reduce economic barriers for the Latino community and support their integration into American life.
