Trevor Tanner Receives Full-Ride Scholarship
St. John, KS November 8th
Trevor Tanner, a senior has applied and been chosen to receive a full-ride scholarship to BTI’s Ag Tech program. After completion of this program, Tanner will begin work at BTI Pratt as a Service Technician. This 2-year program is a $30,000 value.
The BTI Ag Tech program is a full-ride scholarship that includes tuition, fees, books, campus room and board, and a tool loan that the student will pay back interest free. This is all provided with a 5-year commitment to work for BTI after graduation. The Ag Tech program is a 2-year program that allows students to graduate with an associate degree from a community college that has a John Deere sponsored Ag Tech program. BTI partners with Fort Scott Community College, Garden City Community College, and Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska and allows students to select the best fit for them. Students learn not only in a classroom setting, but they take what they have learned and head out to the shop and apply it in a hands-on setting. The program also includes internship opportunities at the student’s BTI location during two scheduled program internships as well as school breaks, such as summers and spring break. During these internships, students learn from experienced Service Technicians and get paid during their internship!
“The first time we spoke with Trevor, we knew he would be a great fit for BTI. Trevor is a well-rounded individual that will be able to excel at anything he puts his mind to. We look forward to working with Trevor and helping him develop his future career at BTI.”
While at St. John High School, Trevor has enjoyed his time on the football team. He also enjoys hunting, fishing, and trapping in his free time. This fall he plans to attend Garden City Community College in Garden City, KS, and he looks forward to learning how to do extensive work on machinery. Trevor believes his football career has prepared him for college because of the perseverance it takes. Trevor chose BTI because it is close to home, and his family does business with BTI.
