Federal-Mogul Motorparts, on behalf of its Garage Gurus technical education network, announced the 12 recipients of $2,500 tuition scholarships presented to students enrolled in accredited post-secondary automotive technology schools.
This is the fourth consecutive year for the scholarship program, which the company has handed out $120,000 in tuition support to future automotive service professionals during this time.
"The main goal of the Garage Gurus scholarship program has remained the same since its introduction—to encourage and support the next generation of automotive and truck repair service professionals as they pursue their careers," Federal-Mogul Motorparts Training and Consumer Experience Director Brent Berman said. "These scholarships often serve as motivation to these men and women to fully engage in their training to become knowledgeable and active technicians in the future."
Automotive service is one of several skilled trades facing a shortage of incoming professionals needed to address business growth and worker retirement. The Garage Gurus scholarship program was established in 2015 to serve as an investment in the future of local automotive service businesses and their employees, and specifically to the next generation of talented, highly trained professionals who will help keep millions of vehicles in road-ready condition.

John Hartman, Lima, Ohio, University of Northwestern Ohio
