2025 Hoosier Feeder Outstanding Student Award Granted to George Jacobs

We are excited to announce that the 2025 Hoosier Feeder Outstanding Student Award has been granted to George Jacobs from Rushville. George is recognized as the Whitewater Career Center’s Outstanding Welding student.

A graduate of Rushville High School and student at Whitewater Career Center's Welding Technology Program, George received a $500 grant from Hoosier Feeder to support his welding and fabrication projects.

George plans to begin working with his family’s trucking company and aims to expand the business by opening a semi customization shop. George believes his welding skills, combined with the tools he was able to purchase through this award, will be essential to starting this new project.

In addition to the Hoosier Feeder award, George was also honored with the overall Outstanding Rushville Career Center Student Award.
