Auto Technician Scholarship Application
2009-2010 Academic Year
The California New Car Dealers Association Scholarship Foundation (the “Foundation”) provides
scholarship to worthy students who pursue studies related to the sale and service of new motor vehicles.
The Foundation’s Auto Technician Scholarship Program awards scholarships to eligible applicants for use
at post secondary educational institutions that offer auto technician training programs.
Scholarship funds are available for tuition, fees, books, tools and other eligible
educational expenses. The Foundation does NOT

diploma.

automotive technician training program (auto body repair programs are excluded).

dealership.
Preference will be given to Automotive Youth Education Systems (AYES) graduates and
applicants employed by members of the California New Car Dealers Association.
Recipient’s academic awards, recognitions and honors will be considered.
Financial need and diversity may be considerations.
Scholarships recipients must maintain a grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) of 2.5 for continued
