Jeff Martin Auctioneers, Inc has announced this year's George W. Martin Memorial Auctioneer Scholarship winner. The winner was chosen from a talented pool of students seeking to gain their auction license. This year's winner of the George W. Martin Memorial Auctioneer Scholarship is Zach Hodge from Laurel, MS. Zach will be attending Nashville Auctioneers School July 9th – 17th in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Nashville Auction School is a well-known starting point where many local auctioneers have learned their profession. Zach will be attending Jones County Junior College located in Jones County, Mississippi in the Fall of 2016.

Jeff Martin Auctioneers, Inc awards one student a full tuition scholarship to the Nashville Auction School each year for those students eager to learn more about the Auction industry and profession.

” I am glad that Zach was chosen for the inaugural George Martin memorial scholarship. George loved the auction industry and always provided young auctioneers the time to help them in any way. George believed in helping others and I am sure he would be proud of Zach for having the desire to become an auctioneer. This scholarship was established in order to allow young adults the opportunity to attend auction school and to carry on George's tradition of helping others.” Jeff Martin, President/CEO
