The automotive industry helps provide the vehicles that move society forward.

Most people use some form of transportation created by the automotive industry on a daily basis. While getting from place to place, people don’t always realize the importance of the field creating their transport. Extensive work goes into each vehicle, with processes of designing, building, distributing, and selling the cars being important in bringing a car from its earliest stages to the open roads. The Future of Automotive Industry Scholarship will support a student pursuing a career in some aspect of the automotive industry.

High school seniors and undergraduate students are eligible to apply if they are majoring in a field related to the automotive industry. To apply, write about what inspired you to choose your career path.

Vermont Technical CollegeJay, VT
Over the last few years in high school, I have been considering many things to do in my future. One of my most passionate hobbies I love to do is working on machines, cars, trucks, and equipment. Based on that, I knew I wanted to pursue a career doing the things I love. My motivation to continue attending Vermont Technical College sparked from the way the program inspired me and from what I have grown up my whole life doing. I grew up working on a farm and multiple maple sugar bushes. Being around equipment my whole life both big and small I've had plenty of exposure to wrenching on many different rigs. In high school, I began a Career Center class in forestry where we run chainsaws, trucks, tractors, and implements that go on them. We also keep them all running in perfect mechanical order. On my grandfather's farm, equipment is constantly being run all day, every day, and there is always something to maintain or fix. My motivation to continue college for Automotive Technologies comes from many aspects of my life. Growing up in dairy and maple agriculture on Vermont farms, I have been working on equipment for as far back as I can remember. At home in the sugarbush, there are always vehicles to work on. This gave me the motivation to go and learn more about mechanics so I can, in a few years, use what I've learned to do what I am most passionate about in life. In these times there is a need everywhere for workers. I especially see it in auto mechanics and diesel mechanics. Where I live in Northern Vermont almost every shop is looking for mechanics. When my mother’s brand new truck broke down they gave us a four-week wait time because the one certified mechanic was so full of jobs to do he was overbooked. This added to my motivation because I feel like I can do good and help others while doing what I love while staying right here in Vermont. VTC’s Automotive Technologies program has been a great experience so far. I feel my education and professionalism growing as I strive to become a technician with a degree. I love Vermont and want to stay here for college, plus it's affordable. It's not too far from home and guarantees me a future in my career path. All this led me to continue to choose our own Vermont Technical College to pursue my dream of becoming a mechanic.
