LEWISTOWN The Mifflin County Academy of Science and Technology was one of nine schools to receive a grant from the American Welding Society Foundation to improve the training capacity of its welding program.
According to a news release from the AWS, the Academy was presented with a $25,000 grant, which it will use to support the needs of local industries.
