BETHESDA, Md. — The University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF) has launched a website focused on heavy duty and diesel industry scholarships, in conjunction with Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW), Jan. 24-27.
The Heavy Duty Scholarship Central portal offers scholarships for students studying diesel and commercial heavy-duty technology and considering careers in the business of servicing or supplying parts and vehicle maintenance.
The site features a simplified online application process and allows students to continue to update their applications until the March 31 deadline, the UAF said.
By completing a single application online, students will be considered for multiple scholarships for which they are eligible. A complete list of scholarships offered by UAF and affiliated industry organizations includes links to information outlining each organization's scholarship details, eligibility requirements and awards.
To be considered for as many scholarships as possible, UAF urges applicants to read the individual pages to ensure they include the proper information required by each organization on their application.
In 2021, the UAF awarded 427 scholarships totaling over $706,000 and 12% of these recipients are currently studying to become a diesel technician or follow another career path in the heavy duty or commercial vehicle industry.
While the UAF has always offered scholarship opportunities for heavy duty or diesel students, the new website puts a greater focus on this important segment of the motor vehicle aftermarket, the foundation said.
