The Atlanta I-CAR Volunteer Committee awarded two $5,000 scholarships through the Collision Repair Education Foundation this spring.
The scholarships will be used to assist students with educational expenses such as tuition, books, tools and equipment. Funding for this scholarship was made possible through the committee hosting annual golf and car show fundraiser events.
The 2016 grant winners include:
Shaan Patel (Maxwell High School of Technology: Lawrenceville, Ga.)
Mceachern Rolling II (Atlanta Technical College: Atlanta, Ga.)
“The ability of our committee to provide these much-needed scholarships is a testament to the focus of the committee and supporters of our yearly events,” said I-CAR Georgia State Chairman and Atlanta Committee Chairman Gerry Poirier. “The need for technicians in our industry is at a critical stage, and these two scholarships will help invest in our future generation. I want to thank everyone that was an integral part of making these possible.”
