Are you planning on a carer in the automotive industry? Does your plan involve higher education? If it does, are you wondering how you are going to pay for it? We know that we have asked a lot of questions, but they are valid.
If you are planning on getting an education higher than high school, let SEMA help you realize your dream.
If you are a student that is preparing for a career in the auto or auto parts industry, you are invited to apply for an award from the 2015 SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund (SMSF). The program is available to those that meet the minimum requirements and offers financial assistance of up to $5,000 to help grow the next generation of industry leaders and innovators that will continue to shape our industry.
Scholarships are available in a variety of categories, including accounting, sales and marketing, and even engineering. There are also dozens of awards that range from $2,000–$3,000. Hold on to your hats, but there is even a $5,000 award going to the top student.
The program also includes a loan forgiveness stipend, which offers financial awards to employees of SEMA-member companies who have completed and are currently paying off a loan for a program of study at an accredited university, college, or vocational/technical program within the United States.
The deadline to sign up for the 2015 program is April 1, 2015.
