TechForce Foundation, National Technical Honor Society Name Scholarship Recipients

TechForce Foundation and National Technical Honor Society have announced the first recipients of a joint scholarship recently created by the organizations.

As shared in a recent press release, Nicholas Sinotte of Lakes Region Community College and Dylan Powell of Itawamba Community College each received $2,500 toward their technical education.

The scholarship, funded by NTHS and administered by TechForce, was created in May 2025 in celebration of the nonprofit-to-nonprofit partnership between the two organizations.

Both scholarship recipients started trade school this fall, are National Technical Honor Society members, and actively participate in the TechForce Network.

“Students like Dylan and Nicholas see the opportunities in a technician career, and we are proud to help them achieve their goals,” says Jennifer Maher, TechForce Foundation CEO. “TechForce Foundation is solving the disconnect between emerging talent and industry needs, starting with technicians. Our nonprofit-to-nonprofit partnership with NTHS brings us closer to realizing that vision. Together we are connecting more students than ever to the TechForce workforce platform, designed to connect industry and education in real, measurable ways.”
