Hank Anderson Memorial Scholarship
The Hank Anderson Memorial Scholarship was established in 2025 to honor the legacy of an incredible man who was beloved by his family.
Hank was a true MacGyver—always tinkering, fixing things, and bringing a sense of wonder to whatever project he took on. Whether it was under the hood of a car or making something out of nothing, he could always be counted on to solve a problem with his hands and his heart.
Hank loved working on cars, and that is why this scholarship is geared towards students who are looking to obtain the necessary training and skills to excel in the automotive industry.
Any high school senior who is a Washington resident interested in pursuing further education in automotive mechanics may apply for this scholarship. Applicants must demonstrate a strong interest in automotive repair and maintenance, as well as a commitment to developing their mechanical skills for a future career in the field.
To apply, tell us about your passion for automobiles and mechanical work, showcasing your enthusiasm for the industry and how your journey aligns with Hank’s dedication. You may submit via essay or video response.
