A 2017 graduate of Michigan Tech is being given a boost to his education career thanks to a prestigious honor.

Manning earned a major in physics at Michigan Tech and will attend Piedmont College, a liberal arts college in Georgia.
Piedmont is one of the five Georgia educational institutions hosting the program for the third year.
