Marvin Bozarth Memorial Scholarship
The tire retread industry is incredibly important to the U.S. economy and environment.
Retreading saves end-users millions of dollars per year while also promoting sustainability by significantly reducing carbon emissions and reducing the use of natural resources. As with many industries, there is a struggle to find employees willing to learn a trade, and in turn, potential future employees find it challenging to pay for vocational school.
In honor of Marvin Bozarth, an industry great who recently passed away, this scholarship aims to support students who are pursuing the transportation or automotive industry.
Any current trade school student or high school student who will attend a trade school to pursue transportation or the automotive industry may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us why you are passionate about pursuing a career in the automotive industry and what skills you bring to the field.
