Are you a future mechanic looking for a little extra cash to help pay for college? Look no further: we have a whole slew of scholarship opportunities for Automotive Technology students that you need to check out!
Students like Summer Miller and Matthew Lane know how valuable it can be to develop skills in Automotive Technology. In these programs, students learn about everything from basic preventative maintenance to extensive electronic components seen more and more in newer cars. But even so, staying in these programs can be challenging for students — that’s why the DCCCD Foundation offers scholarship opportunities to help manage the costs associated with college.
(Please note that the deadlines for these scholarships can vary depending on the time of year. So if you see something you want to apply for and it’s not currently available, make sure to check back next semester.)
