 College is expensive. SEMA can help. If you know someone preparing for a career in the automotive industry, we’re ready to lend a hand. And if you know someone with outstanding student loans, we can help, too. SEMA maintains a program to pay part of the college tuition costs of today’s top students or contribute toward your employees’ student loans.

The SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund is dedicated to fostering the next generation of industry leaders and innovators. We offer scholarships to today’s brightest students at universities, colleges, and/or vocational schools in both the United States and Canada. Awards range from $1,000 - $2,000, with $4,000 going to the top student.

The SEMA Loan Forgiveness Program is dedicated to aiding recent graduates in getting off to a successful start in their automotive aftermarket career. We offer a minimum of $1,000 toward outstanding student loans for individuals who are employed by SEMA-member companies.

Applications are now available online. If you know someone who can benefit from these programs, simply have them visit: www.sema.org/scholarships for details on how to apply for the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund or for the SEMA Loan Forgiveness program.

Don’t delay: The deadline is 5 p.m. (Pacific), April 2, 2010.
