Hanif Michael Martin Scholarship Award
Hanif Michael Martin was a beloved brother, father, uncle and cousin who received his automotive mechanic certification from a technical college and passed away too soon.
The automotive industry is a valuable pursuit that offers career stability and the chance to expand one’s mind. Pursuing certification in the trades is a great alternative path to a traditional college degree. With shorter programs and lower tuition, the trades often allow students to start out in great careers with much less debt than they would have acquired at a four-year university.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Hanif Michael Martin by supporting students who share his interest in the automotive field.
Any underrepresented minority high school student who is pursuing automotive technology may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
