Northwestern PA Chapter NTMA

We are so excited to support Crawford County Career and Technical Center precision machining students who have been hired to full-time employment after graduation! Seniors are welcome to apply for Tooling Awards each year - winners received $1,000-$2,500 to use toward tools for the trade. Thanks to our wonderful partner Jen Lowry Supply Industrial Distributors (Meadville) for coordinating the tooling orders. Special thanks to this year's donors in memory of Tim Katen and Sheila Frantz Wood as well as Lowry Supply.
