Autel announces scholarship program for automotive repair students

Autel revealed its new Autel Awarding Excellence Scholarships for students pursuing an automotive repair education. The program offers five $5,000 scholarships and is a part of the company's philanthropic initiative, Autel Cares. 

The scholarships are available to students who graduated from high school in 2025 and are pursuing an automotive repair program. Applicants are required to submit an essay of 500 to 600 words or a video of 2 to 3 minutes explaining why they want to work in automotive repair and what qualities a successful automotive repair technician should possess. The application deadline is October 5, 2025, and the winners will be announced on November 5, 2025.

Autel Cares is dedicated to giving back to the industry and community in New York, where Autel is headquartered, and the country as a whole with philanthropic donations. The initiative also developed the Autel Inspires program, which provides free or discounted tools and software to primary and secondary automotive education programs and schools throughout North America.

What people are saying

Autel CEO Chloe Hung said, "The launch of the Autel Cares initiative marks a significant milestone for our company. This program demonstrates our commitment to giving back to the community and fostering the next generation of automotive professionals through scholarships and support for underfunded educational programs. We believe in investing in the people who helped make Autel US a success."
