Nearly 500 scholarships for the 2021-22 school year will be awarded to deserving students pursuing careers in the automotive aftermarket industry. This does apply to Canadian students as well.

In addition to technician training, qualified candidates interested in working in the automotive aftermarket may be pursuing one of many career paths, including engineering, IT/cybersecurity, sales and marketing, supply chain, accounting, finance and more.

“With the scholarship application deadline on the horizon, we encourage all interested candidates to log on and apply right away,” said Bob Egan, MAAP, chairman of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.
