CNC Machines re-launches student, veteran manufacturing scholarships

CNC Machines has recently re-launched its annual scholarship for 2022. The scholarship ($2,500) will be awarded to eligible students and veterans studying manufacturing in the USA. Through the years, CNC Machines has awarded more than $10,000 in scholarships, becoming one of the major solutions for closing the gap in manufacturing skills in the country.

The application process for the annual scholarship is now open. The last date of submission for the scholarship is September 23, 2022, 5:00 p.m. (EST).

In an exclusive interview, Curt Doherty, veteran CNC Machine dealer and founder of CNC Machines, shared that CNC Machines is driven by the mission to empower American manufacturers to upgrade their technology that will eventually contribute to the rise of a more powerful manufacturing industry in the country. The company aims to become the most contributing machinery dealer in the U.S.

“We are excited to share with you all that we have recently re-launched our annual scholarship program for students and veterans studying manufacturing in the country. Our investment is to promote the growth of American manufacturing. The future of manufacturing is in technology and being part of helping a student or a Veteran promotes the growth of American manufacturing,” Doherty said.

He stressed that the national manufacturing scene needs to upgrade to latest technical advancements and for that it needs a workforce equipped with state-of-the-art high-tech manufacturing skills and know-how. However, advanced courses are usually high-end and hence unaffordable for many otherwise willing students. In response, CNC Machines has launched the annual scholarship program to help students (and veterans) pursue high-tech courses in manufacturing that will eventually help to create a cutting-edge workforce for the national manufacturing sector.

The CNC Machines annual scholarship is for students and U.S. veterans studying manufacturing, engineering, or related fields. To be eligible for the scholarship, the applicant must actively pursue a certificate, certification, associates, bachelors, or master’s degree.

Veteran applicants will have to upload DD-214 discharge papers and an explanation behind their interest in a career in the manufacturing industry.

Student applicants will have to submit a unique original essay on the manufacturing sector in the country. Essay topics are given on the student scholarship application page.

CNC Machines, one of top used machinery dealers in the U.S., stocks machines from major brands, including Haas CNC, Fadal, Mori Seiki, Mazak, and others. From CNC mill to CNC lathe, CNC Machines can cater to a wide range of customers.

Under Doherty’s leadership, CNC Machines has also grabbed a feature in the prestigious list of INC 5000 fastest growing companies in the U.S.
