We got it from the horse's mouth... or rather the Car Care Women's Board's mouth. Women's Board to give $7,000 in educational resources. The
goal of the Car Care Council Women's Board is two-fold: To encourage
women to become active vehicle maintainers, and to promote career
opportunities for women in the automotive parts and service industry.
In
fulfilling the second part of the mission, each year the Car Care
Council Women's Board sponsors scholarships for women pursuing their
dreams of completing their education to obtain positions in the
automotive industry. You can be one of those women.
The Women's Board program offers two types of scholarships: a high school scholarship and a technician scholarship. The first scholarship is available to female high school
students who plan on pursuing a career in the automotive field after
graduation by attending an ASE-certified, post-secondary automotive
technology program.
The second type of scholarship is available to women who have completed
at least one year in an ASE-certified, post-secondary automobile
technology program, and plan on entering the automotive field after
graduation.
For high school students, up to three scholarships of $1,000 will be
awarded, in addition to a free student membership to the Women's Board
of the Car Care Council.
For the post-secondary students, two women will be awarded
scholarships, one for $1,500 and one for $2,500. Both women will also
receive free student memberships to the Car Care Council Women's Board.
In addition, the $2,500 scholarship winner will be awarded a trip to
Las Vegas to receive the award at the Car Care Council Women's Board
annual awards reception, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2007. The
reception is part of the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX),
during Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) in Las Vegas.
Specific requirements are listed on the application, and applications
must be submitted by May 15, 2007. Winners will be notified in July
2007. You, too, can make your dream come true.
