In addition to 368 scholarships funded by UAF and its donors, UAF helped several industry organizations administer more than 100 additional scholarships
Bethesda, Md.—The University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF) has awarded 368 scholarships totaling more than $700,000 for the current 2025-26 school year. A list of the scholarship recipients can be found at AutomotiveScholarships.com/scholarship-alumni.
Those students awarded scholarships are attending a two-year or four-year college or university or an accredited automotive vocational program. While the majority of the students are studying to become mechanical, collision or heavy-duty repair professionals, others are pursuing degrees in such fields as engineering, business, supply chain and IT/cybersecurity that can lead to a career in the aftermarket.
In addition to the 368 scholarships funded by UAF and its donors, UAF helped several industry organizations, such as state associations and Women in Auto Care, administer more than 100 additional scholarships.
To be considered, scholarship candidates submitted completed applications on the foundation’s AutomotiveScholarships.com or HeavyDutyScholarships.com websites. Teams of volunteer scholarship reviewers evaluated the submissions before scholarship recipients and their corresponding schools were notified of the awards.
“We would not be able to award so many scholarships without the generosity of those who contribute their time and resources to UAF, including Auto Care Association and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers,” said Mike Buzzard, AAP, UAF scholarship committee chairman. “Their ongoing support is essential to ensure that students who have demonstrated academic and work achievements are able to earn scholarships and begin their journey in the aftermarket through education.”
