A local corporation makes a donation for scholarships at North Georgia Tech.

Fieldale Farms Corporation recently donated $5,000 to the North Georgia Technical College Foundation.

School officials say the funds will be used to provide scholarships for students with a financial need who are enrolled in one of the following programs: Environmental Technology, Applied Technology Management, Applied Business Technology, Electrical Systems Technology, Accounting, Industrial Systems Technology, Engineering Technology and Networking Specialist.

The North Georgia Technical College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which was created in 2000 to enhance educational opportunities at North Georgia Technical College.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of trustees made up of representatives from NGTC’s eight-county service area, and its membership includes college alumni as well as local business and community leaders.

Its mission is to create awareness of the financial needs of the College and encourage donations of resources which are managed wisely to assure quality education for its students.

Last year, the North Georgia Technical College Foundation awarded over 464 scholarships to students with financial need.
