WEST ORANGE, N.J., July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), a national leader in specialized technical training and a driving force in helping students turn their passion into professional success, proudly joined members of the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association (GNYADA) on June 16th in honoring four outstanding students who are also former or active military personnel. At GNYADA's annual golf outing and fundraiser for charity in Old Westbury, NY, the association also recognized the Queens, NY campus of Lincoln Technical Institute as an outstanding community partner.
"Lincoln schools have historically placed the highest priority on assisting U.S. veterans who have served their country," says Shaun McAlmont, Lincoln's Chief Executive Officer. "Lincoln was established in 1946 to help World War II veteran's transition into civilian careers, and we have never lost sight of that commitment. We are proud to support our servicemen and women, and we are especially proud today of these four young men and women now training at our Queens campus."
The four students – Julie Esty of Seaford, NY; Covid Hackshaw of Cambria Heights, NY; James Phillips of Bronx, NY; and Chad Spencer of Bronx, NY – were awarded the 2014 GNYADA Scholarship for outstanding academic performance, attendance, and commitment to excellence in their future automotive careers. Phillips says he is thankful not only for the award presented by GNYADA, but for the larger opportunities his Lincoln training has provided him as well.
"I want to be a good father and to be able to provide for my family," Phillips says. "Going to Lincoln Tech has trained me for that type of career. From my experience, if you're planning on being an Automotive Technician, the best place to go is Lincoln Tech."
