The Georgia Northwestern Technical College Foundation has awarded $48,350 in scholarships and grants to 56 students for the Spring 2026 semester, helping offset the cost of tuition and educational expenses across multiple programs.

Awards ranged from $100 to $5,000 and were distributed to students enrolled in degree, diploma, and certificate programs at GNTC campuses throughout Northwest Georgia. College officials praised both the recipients and the donors who made the funding possible.

“We salute these students for their excellence and determination to realize their educational and career goals,” said GNTC President Dr. Heidi Popham, who also expressed appreciation for the community partners supporting the scholarships.

Students from across the region—including Rome, Dalton, Calhoun, Summerville, Trion, and surrounding communities—received recognition through a variety of scholarships and grants, including foundation scholarships, adult education awards, and program-specific honors in fields such as nursing, aviation maintenance, welding, business, and precision manufacturing.

The foundation also awarded several memorial and industry-supported scholarships, as well as grants aimed at helping adult education graduates continue their studies.

GNTC officials say the continued investment in students plays a key role in building a skilled workforce across Northwest Georgia.
