Auto Club Awards Scholarships

Two northeast Georgia students at North Georgia Technical College are scholarship recipients.

Joel Nelms of Cleveland and Micheal Mannion of Demorest each recently received $500 scholarships each from the Northeast Georgia Antique Auto and Truck Club.

The Club has awarded $500 scholarships to two North Georgia Technical College automotive students annually for over 15 years.

The funds, which are proceeds from the club’s car show, are made available to the winners to purchase tools and equipment for their chosen profession.

Nelms recently graduated with honors from the Automotive Technology Program while Mannion, a USMC Veteran of six years, is enrolled in the Auto Collision Program.

The Northeast Georgia Antique Auto Region Chapter President Grady Cowart and Chapter Vice-President Larry Christie presented Nelms and Mannion their scholarships.

Cowart congratulated the winners and expressed his appreciation to the community for supporting the car show each year.
