Fourteen precision machining technology students at NDSCS are among the beneficiaries of a $36,000 grant from the Gene Haas Foundation. Dave Chase and Interim NDSCS President Harvey Link, both a former NDSCS Student machine tool sales representative from Productivity, Inc. and instructor, and other school officials gathered with several grant recipients when they received their awards Friday, January 28.
Funding from the Haas Foundation will support NDSCS precision and machining technology department through the awarding of scholarships to current and future technology students. An additional $18,000, received as a result of the North Dakota 1:2 Challenge Grant, will be awarded among nine incoming students this fall.
The North Dakota Challenge Grant is an especially useful resource for NDSCS, Alumni Foundation Executive Director Kim Nelson said. The college has nearly completed its goal of raising $1.9 million in order to receive $950,000 in Challenge Grant Funding, she said.
