North Georgia Technical College to Start Giving the Savage Innovator Award

The North Georgia Technical College Foundation recently received a donation to start the Savage Innovator Award.

NGTC Alumni Dustin Keeling and Benjamin Keith gave the funds to promote and recognize high character students who have an innovative spirit and think outside the box.

Beginning Fall Semester of this year, the $250 annual scholarship will be available to a student who is a first year student with a GPA of 2.5 or higher in good academic standing, provides a 350-500 word essay answering the question “How do you innovate?” in the classroom, workplace or home, and is recommended by an instructor or employer.

Keith and Keeling of Savage Innovations are both 2005 graduates of North Georgia Technical College. Keeling holds a degree in Industrial Systems Technology and Keith holds a degree in Marine Engine Technology.

In a press release, Keith said that although they are a small business, they wanted to give back.
