IRVING, TX — ExxonMobil has awarded four Mobil 1 Scholarships to students at the NASCAR Technical Institute (NTI). Each student received a $5,000 to be used for pursuing automotive technician career goals. The Mobil 1 Scholarships were developed to address the shortage of automotive technicians in the U.S.
NTI, the exclusive educational partner of NASCAR, is the country’s first technical training school to combine a complete automotive technology program and a NASCAR-specific motorsports program. The Institute is located in Mooresville, NC., where nearly 75 percent of NASCAR teams are based.
The recipients of the Mobil 1 Scholarship were selected based on a 200-word essay describing their automotive experience, automotive career goals, their desire to enter into the automotive aftermarket industry, completion of at least nine phases of NTI training and a minimum “B” grade point average (3.0 or higher).
The winners include Michael Caronia and Robert Perry of Statesville, NC, Robert Barnhart of Riverside, CA, and Garret Polk of Filion, MI.
