BFGoodrich officials are heading to Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne’s North Campus Nov. 9 to give more information about how certain students can leave college debt-free through the Technical Scholar Program.

The program is open to current and prospective students working to earn a degree in Industrial Electrical or Mechanical Technology. Those accepted get scholarships to cover college costs while also working part-time at the BFGoodrich manufacturing facility in Woodburn, Ind. Graduates of the program will also be eligible for full-time employment with the company.

To be considered for the Technical Scholar Program, applicants must:

• Be enrolled as a full-time student in the INDT A.A.S. Electrical program
• Have and maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA
• Be able to work 20 hours per week
• Demonstrate strong math, science, reading, and comprehension skills
