Three students will receive scholarships of $2,500 to contribute to the costs of round-trip travel from their permanent address to the internship location, lodging, utilities and food. As part of the Auto Care Association’s Auto Care Jobs and Career Development Program, this program was designed to provide financial support for students pursuing internships across the country to gain valuable, real-world education in a variety of auto care industry careers.

The 2015 recipients and their internships are:

  • Cody Knoll, Northwood University, will intern with Automann in Somerset, N.J. Knoll’s experiences will include shipping and receiving in the warehouse, and customer service in the office.
  • Ian Stout, Grinnell College, will intern with GCommerce in Des Moines, Iowa. In the implementation department, Stout will work with automotive aftermarket distributors to help facilitate exchange of electronic information with their vendors.

This scholarship is intended for college students majoring in programs that have direct application to the auto care industry pursuing internships in locations more than 100 miles from their permanent residence.

Scholarship recipients were chosen by a selection committee that includes members of AWDA, the Auto Care Association Education Committee and Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG) Advisory Council.
