Georgia Power Contributes to North Georgia Tech Foundation

The Georgia Power Foundation has made a contribution to North Georgia Technical College’s Foundation’s scholarship fund for students enrolled in the Electrical Lineworker Program who have documented financial need.

“We are thrilled with this contribution to the college,” said NGTC Institutional Advancement Director Cynthia Brown.  “We are so grateful to have the continued support from our partners in the community, and Georgia Power is once again leading the way.  We thank you, and our students thank you.” 

The purpose of the Electrical Lineworker program is to provide the student with the necessary skills and knowledge to gain employment as an apprentice with electrical utility companies, both public and private. Topics include lineworker organization principles, lineworker workplace skills, lineworker automation skills, and lineworker occupational skills.

Foundation scholarships make a difference in whether students have the opportunity to receive an education, graduate and go to work.  Last year the Foundation awarded over 464 scholarships to students with financial need.  For more information, call 706-654-7714 or email at [email protected].
