OTC and O’Reilly Auto Parts have enhanced CAWA’s 2018 scholarship program by awarding the highest ranking student seeking a career as an automotive technician, an Evolve scan tool. The student, Christina Schneider, who attends College of the Desert, was selected to receive the scan tool among 57 applicants in the 2018 awards cycle.

“O’Reilly is happy to work with OTC to be able to provide this future technician with a tool she can use in her training and beyond”, commented Tom Seboldt of O’Reilly’s. Seboldt also serves as Treasurer of the CAWA Board of Director’s that, in 2018, allocated more than $16,000 in financial scholarships and gift certificates for Powerbuilt tools donated by All Trade Tools.

“O’Reilly and OTC are proud to partner with CAWA and their scholarship program to award a deserving student with technology they can use now and in the future,” added Seboldt.

Thanking OTC and O’Reilly was CAWA President & CEO, Rodney Pierini. “CAWA appreciates the support of these two companies in recognizing the importance of scholarship awards to students who are the future of the auto care industry,” said Pierini.
