Sept. 8, 2023
For the 2023-24 academic year, UAF has awarded 378 scholarships to students across the country.

The University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF) has awarded 378 scholarships to students across the country, totaling $640,250 for the upcoming school year.

“It’s wonderful to see so many students looking to the aftermarket as a career path and applying for scholarships to help get them there,” said Mike Buzzard, AAP, chairman of the UAF scholarship committee. “Awarding so many scholarships would not be possible without the generosity of those who donate their time and resources to UAF. Their support helps ensure that the aftermarket remains vibrant and strong through education.”

The scholarship recipients will be 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 business, engineering, and IT/cybersecurity that will lead to a career in the automotive aftermarket.

In addition, many named scholarships were awarded on behalf of a variety of individuals and organizations.
