We are thrilled to announce that three of our talented students in the diesel and heavy equipment program have been awarded Noregon’s prestigious Fall 2024 scholarships. These students are part of Noregon’s Education Program, which offers free resources to schools with diesel programs. Through this program, our students have access to discounted Noregon software and the cutting-edge diagnostic and repair tools they’ll use in their careers.

Noregon selects its scholarship recipients through a blind review process, based on student responses about their passion for the diesel industry and their commitment to learning. We are proud to recognize the following Forsyth Tech students for earning this incredible achievement:

Jose Mendez
Jose has always been captivated by the complexity of diesel engines, finding them more challenging and exciting than gas engines. His goal is to take the skills he’s learning at Forsyth Tech and travel the world, working on heavy-duty vehicles. Jose’s commitment to his education is inspiring, and he’s eager to continue expanding his knowledge, both in and out of the classroom.

Rolando Ortiz
Rolando, another exceptional student in our diesel program, is excited to broaden his expertise beyond automotive vehicles. With a clear vision for his future, Rolando is motivated by the many career opportunities in the diesel industry. After graduation, he hopes to apply his skills in a shop where he can work on heavy-duty trucks, buses, and equipment. We’re proud of Rolando’s ambition and dedication.

Ezequiel Rodriguez
Ezequiel’s passion for becoming a diesel mechanic started at an early age, influenced by his father, who was an automotive mechanic. His determination to excel in the diesel industry is evident through his work ethic and enthusiasm for learning. At Forsyth Tech, Ezequiel is focused on gaining the skills and knowledge that will allow him to inspire others and make a global impact in the diesel industry.

We are incredibly proud of Jose, Rolando, and Ezequiel for earning these scholarships and for their commitment to their education and future careers in the diesel industry. Their dedication reflects the high standards and values of Forsyth Tech’s Diesel Program, and we look forward to watching them succeed as they move forward in their journeys.
