CHICAGO — CCC Information Services has announced the winners of its inaugural CCC Outstanding Student Technician Scholarships.

“The selection process was very difficult,” said Jim Dickens, senior vice president at CCC. “However, it was encouraging to see how many qualified students are preparing for a future in collision repair. The education and skills training these students are receiving from their instructors is incredible. I look forward to following the progress of the students as they enter the workforce.”
