The University of the Aftermarket Foundation has announced that it has awarded $640,250 worth of scholarships for the 2023-24 academic school year, according to a press release. The total number of scholarships awarded is 378.
The students who have received these scholarships applied for them through AutomotiveScholarships.com or HeavyDutyScholarships.com. They will be attending either a two-year or four-year college or university or an accredited automotive vocational program. Many will study mechanical, collision, or heavy-duty repair. Additionally, some will seek out degrees in engineering, business, and IT/cybersecurity for use in the aftermarket. A full list of scholarship recipients can be viewed on the Automotive Scholarships website.
Mike Buzzard, AAP, is the chairman of the UAF scholarship committee.
“It’s wonderful to see so many students looking to the aftermarket as a career path and applying for scholarships to help get them there,” said Buzzard. “Awarding so many scholarships would not be possible without the generosity of those who donate their time and resources to UAF. Their support helps ensure that the aftermarket remains vibrant and strong through education.”
