June 26, 2020 – Each year, the TAG Education Collaborative disperses the Kent Antley Scholarship Fund. The Kent Antley Scholarship is awarded to those that exemplify the man in which the scholarship is named after: visionary, steadfast, dedicated and focused on pursuing STEM education. Kent was one of the first individuals to begin working on what would become the Technology Association of Georgia. We are undoubtedly thankful for his efforts and are pleased to be able to offer these scholarships to the next generation pursing technology.
As part of their outstanding performance, we are pleased to announce the following students as recipients of the 2020 Kent Antley Scholarships:
