Cabot Resident Ginger Marshall Honors Late Father with New UA-PTC Automotive Technology Scholarship

Ginger Marshall, from Cabot, has established a new scholarship at UA-PTC in memory of her late father, Virgil Lynn Shown. The Virgil Lynn Shown Automotive Scholarship will be open to second-semester students studying for an Associate of Applied Science in Automotive Technology or Collision Repair. The scholarship application period begins in spring 2024, with the first award scheduled for fall 2024.

Marshall is pleased to honor her father, a car enthusiast, in this way. She hopes the scholarship will support and benefit UA-PTC students.

UA-PTC's Automotive Technology program, which covers four semesters, provides students with skills in all eight service areas of the Automotive Service Excellence program. This prepares them for careers as automotive repair technicians. The college also has a Collision Repair Technology program, training students in various collision repair skills.

The UA-PTC Foundation, the college's official fundraising and gift-receiving body, manages the scholarship. The foundation supervises many private scholarships, assisting nearly 200 students each academic year. A complete list of UA-PTC Foundation scholarships is available on the UA-PTC website's Scholarship Opportunities page.

UA-PTC is dedicated to providing quality education that fosters student learning and personal growth. The creation of the Virgil Lynn Shown Automotive Scholarship by Ginger Marshall reflects this dedication.
