The Technical Scholars Initiative is a concentrated effort, in partnership with business and industry, to recruit, educate and graduate technicians in fields where workforce shortages exist. Scholarships are applied towards the cost of education to company sponsored students. Students also work part-time gaining experience in a related field at the company sponsoring their scholarship. Partnerships are available with Bridgestone Aiken County Plant, Michelin, SCE&G, Shaw Industries, BAE Systems and other fine companies.
