SCHOLARSHIPS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Student must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 or higher and be enrolled in a three unit manufacturing course before applying. These two scholarships provide funds that do not have to be repaid. Below are descriptions and links to scholarships. You must be a registered student to enroll in a scholarship.

THE GENE HAAS SCHOLARSHIP

The Gene Haas Foundation recognizes that the future of manufacturing in the United States – and around the world – depends directly upon the availability of skilled workers. Expanding the pool of skilled workers hinges on recruiting more young people to pursue careers in manufacturing and creating state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing training programs to ensure that graduating students have the skills necessary when they enter the workforce.

One of the primary goals of the Gene Haas Foundation is to provide financial assistance for students interested in manufacturing-based careers. Gene Haas Scholarship is handled through the college scholarship program. Once you are enrolled in a three unit class you can apply for the scholarship. For more information email jpalma@glendale.edu or call 818-240-1000 Ext. 5561

Scholarship Application

California Manufacturing Workforce Foundation Scholarship

Formerly known as the LANTMA Foundation, the California Manufacturing Workforce Foundation’s goal is to aid students toward careers in American manufacturing.

We exist to financially support education in manufacturing careers in the California area.  We provide educational scholarships for the benefit of students enrolled in institutions involved with machinist training as well as other disciplines which are vital in the operation of all sizes of manufacturing companies. You can apply for this scholarship only after you have taken at least a three unit manufacturing class at the college.

Questions and Answers ......

Do I need to submit a GCC application at the college if I want to enroll in a class?

Yes please view the student enrollment guide

If I am 18 years or older do I need to have a high school diploma to attend manufacturing classes?

No, Manufacturing classes are career education classes which students elect to take they are not mandatory anyone 18 years or older can take them. 

If I am new to manufacturing what class should I take?

Mach 101 is the basic beginners class for a student who knows little to nothing about manufacturing.

If I am working in the manufacturing industry at this moment and have some knowledge of CNC machining do I need to take the basic classes?

No, if you already have hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry and a foundational understanding of CNC machining, you may not need to take the basic classes. However, it depends on the depth of your current knowledge and the specific requirements of the program or certification you're pursuing. We can assess your experience level and place you in a more advanced class.
