ELLISVILLE \u2013 A $10,000 grant from the Gene Haas Foundation has provided each of the five Â鶹ֱ²¥ precision manufacturing and machining student-recipients with a one-thousand dollar tuition scholarship. Receiving the scholarships are Tanner Bryant of Laurel, Jason Williams of Laurel, Christian Daniel of Prentiss, Emmett Searles of Hattiesburg and Troy Leiva, Jr. of Gloster. Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s precision manufacturing and machining instructor, Chase Elmore said the recipients are all outstanding students in the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach student who applied through the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Foundation had to submit a resume\u2019 to be considered for the scholarship,\u201d said Elmore. \u201cBesides scholarships, some of the grant money will also be used to provide credential testing fees for qualifying students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshman, Troy Leiva, Jr. said he was thrilled to receive this scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will take care of paying the rest of my tuition so I can complete this program. I am very happy about that!\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second year the Gene Haas Foundation has donated to the program since the partnership began in 2017, providing many opportunities for Â鶹ֱ²¥ students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gene Haas Foundation along with Haas and Machine Tools LLC has contributed greatly to the program. They have also provided new equipment for us to use in the lab which also serves as Haas\u2019 showroom for business customers and for the company\u2019s \u2018Demo Day.\u2019 They also provide maintenance for these high-tech machines and opportunities for our students to meet some of the industry leaders who purchase the machines,\u201d said Elmore.<\/p>\n

He added he is optimistic about continuing to receive funds\/grants from the Haas Foundation for the precision manufacturing and machining program at Jones and encourages students to take advantage of an incredible opportunity to learn a valuable skill that can also offer tuition assistance for qualifying students. Elmore said job placement in the machining and manufacturing industry is usually at 100-percent. The workforce needs young men and women to lead this nation to provide better manufacturing nationwide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cWe are grateful at Jones to be able to provide an opportunity to train students where there is demand for our graduates. Our partnership with Haas has also allowed us to take our training even further by providing Jones students with experience and training on the newest technology furnished by Haas,\u201d said Elmore.<\/p>\n
