QVCC center
gets $15k grant
DANIELSON — The Quinebaug Valley Community College Advanced Manufacturing Center has received a $15,000 grant from the Gene Haas Foundation. Since 2016, the program has received $75,000 to support student success in advanced manufacturing.
233 students have received support from the grants and are able to use the funds to support themselves inside or outside of the classroom. There are a variety of incentives for students in the program to earn funds: enrolling full-time for semester one and two of the Advanced Manufacturing Machine Technology Certificate; making the Dean’s List (also available for students enrolled in the Mechatronics Automation Technician Certificate); and for graduating with a grade point average of 3.8 or higher.
