Jefferson Community and Technical College student Trent Mullikin was presented Nov. 17 with a $2,000 “Tools for Tomorrow”scholarship from W.W. Grainger at the Carrollton campus.  Only 150 scholarships are given each year by Grainger, and only two of those go to students in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.

Upon graduation, Mullikin also will receive $1,000 worth of tools from Grainger to help him begin his career.
