Scholarships Competition Opens for Technicians

American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council said it has started accepting applications from diesel technicians for scholarships to three institutions.

The scholarships are administered by TMC’s Professional Technician Development Committee and can pay for programs at WyoTech, the University of Northwestern Ohio or Lincoln Technical Institute/Lincoln College of Technology/Nashville Auto Diesel College.

“We’re grateful to these schools for their generosity and commitment to technicians and the trucking industry,” Bonne Karim, chairman of the development committee, said in a TMC statement. “The scholarships they provide are helping to fill the demand for skilled technicians for increasingly complex truck technologies.”

Each applicant must be sponsored by, or work for, a TMC member. Further eligibility and application information and forms are available at http://tmc.trucking.org.
