Automotive Parts Associates (APA) has announced that beginning in the fall of 2016 a new scholarship program will be available to sons and daughters of APA shareholders and their employees.
Eligible students will include those who are already attending any two- or four-year accredited college, any ASE/NATEF-certified, post-secondary automotive, heavy-duty or collision technician training program or any licensed and accredited vocational school as well as students graduating from high school and heading to any of those post-secondary programs.
Five $1,000 sponsorships will be awarded each year.
“I’m proud that APA can continue to offer valuable benefits to its shareholder and customer community with this new program,” said Gary Martin, APA’s president and CEO. “Supporting the educational pursuits of our members and their families is a real-world endeavor and benefit that serves to sustain growth for families and businesses well into the future. I credit the foresight of the APA board of directors for this excellent endeavor.”
Eligible students will be able to apply online through automotivescholarships.com. This program offers scholarships in collaboration with more than 30 other organizations and donors who also award scholarships to students.
