North Georgia Technical College automotive technology student James Burns of Toccoa recently received a tools scholarship from the Northeast Georgia Antique Auto Region. Chosen from almost 100 students in the NGTC automotive programs, Burns received a gift certificate to use for equipment in his future profession. Burns, who is studying automotive technology with instructors Stoney Farmer and Kevin McCurry, came into the program after earning his GED. “I was just going to get my ASE Certification, but when I learned I could get even more training in the diploma program, I decided to enroll,” Burns said.
