$22,500 to aid college programs

The Grainger Foundation gave Macomb Community College $22,500 Thursday to support programs designed to help educate students in high-demand technical careers.

The money is to be used for tuition assistance and related fees for students pursuing careers in machinery, computer numerical control and hybrid maintenance and repair, according to the college.

The national foundation presented the check as part of its $100,000 donation to the state, supporting the Michigan Technical Education Centers for the No Worker Left Behind Act.
