Are you a full-time student pursuing a career in the automotive industry? Are you affiliated with a SEMA-member company? Or are you a recent college graduate employed by a SEMA-member company? Do you have outstanding student loans?


Great news! SEMA is here to help.


The association offers two types of programs:

1. SEMA Scholarship Awards

2. SEMA Loan Forgiveness Awards

Here's some more details about each program.

SEMA SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

SEMA is offering special scholarships for full-time students in the U.S. or Canada. If the student works for a SEMA-member company or is a dependent of a SEMA-member employee, they will receive special consideration during the judging process. The top student will receive $4,000. Four-year degree students are eligible to win $2,000 and two-year/trade-school students are eligible to win $1,000.


SEMA LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM

If you are a recent college graduate with outstanding student loans and work for a SEMA-member company (for at least one year), then you'll want to apply for the SEMA Loan Forgiveness Program. Individuals selected are eligible to win up to $1,000.


Since the fund's inception in 1984, it has awarded more than $1,000,000 in scholarships to more than 400 students engaged in studies leading to careers in the automotive aftermarket or related fields. Don't wait, apply now! The application is available at: www.sema.org/scholarships


The application deadline is Friday, April 2 at 5 p.m. (Pacific).


SEMA wants to help you succeed and reach your career goals in the specialty-equipment industry.

Not to Poo Poo this because money is money but calling $1000 a "loan forgiveness" program is a bit of a stretch.

I'll forgive you, if you give me $1,000 :lmao: of course, I would have to donate it to GLFWDA.

All I know is that it would take a hell of a lot more than 1000 bucks to forgive my student loans. :ahhh:

That might buy a few books, but that's about it. Better than a sharp tow hook in the eye though!
