Applications are now being accepted online for the 2010 Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium scholarship, awarded to students planning automotive aftermarket careers.
The application process is now entirely electronic through the GAAS scholarship web site. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2010.

The scholarships are available to students in two-year technical college programs and vocational schools and four-year college programs. To receive a GAAS scholarship, applicants must be enrolled full-time in a college-level program or a NATEF (National Automotive Technician Education Foundation) accredited automotive technical program. Graduate programs and part-time undergraduate programs do not qualify.

The GAAS scholarship is unique in that technician recipients can receive two financial grants: one while in school to assist with tuition and an equivalent grant awarded to scholarship recipients who graduate from their program and show proof of post-graduation employment as a technician in the automotive aftermarket for at least six months.

By completing a single online application at the GAAS Web site, students will be considered for GAAS scholarships, plus scholarships from a number of industry partners.

In 2009, the program gave out scholarships to 75 students in the U.S. and Canada, ranging from $250 to $2,000.
