After a successful fundraising drive
within the
Alli
ance of Automotive Service Providers of
Minnesota (AASP-MN) membership, the
association will award scholarships to
select students enrolled in post-
secondary automotive (mechanical or
collision) programs. Scholarship awards
will be $1,000 per student.
Recipients must be entering the second
year of a two-year NATEF-certified
automotive program in the fall of 2011.
Applications will be reviewed by a
committee of industry representatives,
with consideration given to scholastic
achievement, education and career
goals, financial need and written
recommendations. Applications must be
postmarked no later than March 31,
2012.
Applications can be downloaded at www.aaspmn.org or
submitted online at www.automotivescholarsh
ips.com. Online submissions give
students the opportunity to compete for
several different awards, including
those offered by the Global Automotive
Aftermarket Symposium Scholarship
Committee and over 20 other automotive
aftermarket organizations and
companies. Specific requirements for
each organization’s awards can be found
at www.automotivescholarships.com.
The Education Fund was established in
2002 to provide financial resources to
support automotive students, enhance
automotive programs and raise awareness
of career opportunities in the
independent automotive service
industry. Since that time, nearly
$113,000 has been distributed directly
to students enrolled in automotive
programs through the Association’s
scholarship program and Skills USA
competition.
The Alliance of Automotive Service
Providers of Minnesota (AASP-MN) is an
association of independently-owned
automotive service businesses and
industry suppliers dedicated to
improving the state’s automotive
service industry and the success of its
members.
