Are you a full-time student pursuing a career in the automotive industry? Are you affiliated with a SEMA-member company? Or are you a recent college graduate employed by a SEMA-member company? Do you have outstanding student loans?
Great news! SEMA is here to help.
The association offers two types of programs:
1. SEMA Scholarship Awards
2. SEMA Loan Forgiveness Awards
Here's some more details about each program.
SEMA SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
SEMA is offering special scholarships for full-time students in the U.S. or Canada. If the student works for a SEMA-member company or is a dependent of a SEMA-member employee, they will receive special consideration during the judging process. The top student will receive $4,000. Four-year degree students are eligible to win $2,000 and two-year/trade-school students are eligible to win $1,000.
SEMA LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
If you are a recent college graduate with outstanding student loans and work for a SEMA-member company (for at least one year), then you'll want to apply for the SEMA Loan Forgiveness Program. Individuals selected are eligible to win up to $1,000.
Since the fund's inception in 1984, it has awarded more than $1,000,000 in scholarships to more than 400 students engaged in studies leading to careers in the automotive aftermarket or related fields. Don't wait, apply now! The application is available at: www.sema.org/scholarships <http://echo.bluehornet.com/ct/3261025:1673693518:m:1:73299120:E075019F560AF70BEE0A4FE813895545>
