FOUR COLLISION SCHOOLS AWARDED GEICO GRANTS THROUGH COLLISION REPAIR EDUCATION FOUNDATION

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – November 4, 2014 – The Collision Repair Education Foundation announced the winners of GEICO’s collision school grants for 2014:
• Hillsborough Community College (Tampa, Fla.)
• Norwalk High School (Norwalk, Calif.)
• Texas State Technical College (Waco, Texas)
• Wilson Tech (Dix Hills, N.Y.)
Each of the winning schools applied for a grant from the Ultimate Collision Education Makeover program, and each will receive $6,750 to purchase items off their collision tool, equipment and supply wish list from their application.

The winners were named Nov. 4 at the Education Foundation’s industry reception held at SEMA in Las Vegas, Nev. SEMA is the automotive industry’s specialty products trade event.

These grants go a long way to supplement collision school programs and help school instructors provide the best technical education possible for their students.”
