GNTC accepting applications for Latin American Association-Mohawk Scholarship – The Rome News-Tribune
Georgia Northwestern Technical College is accepting applications for the 2026 Latin American Association-Mohawk Scholarships through Oct. 31.
This scholarship is funded by the Latin American Association with the sponsorship of Mohawk Industries Inc. It supports students involved in the Hispanic community who graduated from eligible high schools in Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon, Murray or Whitfield counties.
Up to six scholarships will be awarded for the spring 2026 semester.
Already designated as an Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution, GNTC is working to become a Hispanic-Serving Institution, said Lauretta Hannon, executive director of Institutional Advancement.
“As our Hispanic student enrollment continues to grow, these LAA-Mohawk Scholarships are especially meaningful and needed,” she said.
The $1,000 scholarships will be applied to tuition, fees and related educational expenses. Recipients are selected based on need and merit.
In addition to meeting the county residency requirement, applicants must be involved in the Hispanic community in one or more ways: heritage, involvement, volunteerism, language and support. They must be a U.S. citizen, permanent legal resident or DACA recipient, a GNTC student in good standing and enrolled full-time or part-time for the 2025-26 academic year.
Applicants have to complete a 250- and a 500-word essay explaining how the LAA-Mohawk scholarship could benefit the student’s financial needs.
