Southwest Tech is proud to announce the award of $10,000 in N.E.X.T. (Next Experience in Training) Scholarship tuition waivers to four exceptional students. This scholarship initiative is designed to support young adults in our district by providing a 1,000-hour tuition waiver, valued at $2,500 each, to assist them in achieving their educational goals.
The recipients of this year’s N.E.X.T. Scholarships are:
Alaeah Warrington Yarbrough from the Graphic Design program
Byron Ford from the Aviation Maintenance program
Tyler Massey from the Aviation Maintenance program
Joseph Basaldua from the Powerplant program
These students were selected based on their qualifications, including being under the age of 21, graduating from a Southwest Tech partner school, and submitting a complete application explaining their financial need for success in their respective programs.
"The N.E.X.T. Scholarship is an important initiative that highlights Southwest Tech's commitment to empowering the next generation of skilled professionals in our community. By reducing the financial burden of education, the scholarship allows these young adults to focus on their studies and excel in their chosen fields," said Dale Latham, Southwest Tech Superintendent/CEO
