The University of the Aftermarket Foundation has doubled its support of aftermarket education in 2013, funding $110,000 of scholarships and grants found on the Automotive Aftermarket Scholarship Central website at www.automotivescholarships.com.
The donation from the University of the Aftermarket Foundation will be used to help aspiring students take the first step into the aftermarket by funding vocational school and university scholarships. In addition, matching grants will be funded for young technicians who have worked in the industry for at least six months.
“It is very encouraging to see the number of quality candidates who are interested in the automotive field,” said John Washbish, secretary of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. “We urge all industry organizations to consider supporting the University of the Aftermarket Foundation to help secure the future of the automotive aftermarket through education.”
