The 2023 SEMA Scholarship application period for students pursuing careers in the automotive or performance parts industries is now open.
Students and recent graduates until March 1, 2023 to apply at www.sema.org/scholarships.
The SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund is offering up $5,000 in financial assistance to aid future leaders and innovators in the automotive aftermarket industry.
Also available this year is a loan forgiveness component to employees of SEMA-member companies who have completed and are currently paying off a loan for a program of study at an accredited university, college, or vocational/technical school within the United States.
“Education can be expensive, but that shouldn’t limit students from getting ahead in their careers,” said Pamela Brown-Matthis, SEMA director of education, in a press release. “There are so many career options in the automotive aftermarket, and it’s a thriving industry to be in. We encourage students who have a passion for cars to apply for a SEMA scholarship so that we can help jump-start their careers.”
Scholarship winners will have the opportunity to attend the 2023 SEMA Show, enabling networking and education opportunities at the world’s largest trade show for the automotive aftermarket.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens 18 years or older and demonstrate a passion for automotive hobbies and careers.
Scholarships are available in a variety of categories, including but not limited to accounting, sales, marketing, and engineering.
