NAPA partnered with the University of the Aftermarket Foundation to award several scholarships to students seeking a career in the auto repair industry, according to a press release.

Being held in addition to other initiatives such as an apprenticeship program, a total of 20 scholarships were awarded.

Fifteen scholarships, each amounting $2,500, were awarded to students who have been accepted or are enrolled in a transportation technician program.

Another five scholarships, each $2,500, were specifically awarded to women looking to enter the field.
