Just under 100 high school students from Illinois, Eastern Iowa, and Indiana received scholarships for their welding skills at the annual Midwest Technical Institute and Delta Technical College Regional High School Welding Competition held Saturday, April 27, 2019 at MTI’s East Peoria, IL campus. The MTI and DTC Regional HS Welding Competition is an invite-only competition established in 2007 for motivated high school students who want to prove that they have what it takes to be a Journeyman Welder. All participants in the regional welding competition received a $500 MTI Scholarship and had the opportunity to win up to $10,000 in additional scholarships. Each participant completed a timed welding project that was judged before a panel of welding experts.
