Southeast Community College’s
Milford Campus is one of three Nebraska colleges to receive a generous grant to
enhance its Auto Collision Repair Technology program. The Nebraska Rod &
Custom Association donated a one-time grant of $7,500 to SCC for the purpose of
improving facilities or investing in equipment.
“NRCA has been a longtime
supporter of automotive training in Nebraska,” said Kevin Uhler, SCC Auto
Collision Repair Technology program director. “We are so appreciative of this
extremely generous gift from NRCA that allowed us to improve our lab. This
new paint mix room will be something that all of our Auto Collision Repair
students use as they work on live lab projects during their training at SCC.”
In addition to this donation,
the NRCA awards 10 scholarships annually to students pursuing automotive and
collision training at one of Nebraska’s community colleges. Many SCC students
have received scholarships.
The NRCA consists of around
1,800 members throughout the state and supports classic car hobbies.
