Scott A. Ross Memorial Automotive Scholarship
Scott A. Ross was a beloved son who recently passed away from a blood disorder, leaving his family and friends behind too soon.
Scott was passionate about automobiles and was a certified auto technician. In today’s society, students are often pushed towards certain fields and advanced degrees, at the expense of trades such as automotive repair. However, these positions offer steady employment, competitive wages, and reliable hours, not to mention opportunities for self-employment and career advancement.
This scholarship seeks to honor the legacy of Scott A. Ross by supporting the next generation of automobile technicians.
Any student who is pursuing automobile technology or repair may apply for this scholarship. However, applicants who have undergone a medical challenge are preferred, especially if they have a hematology condition, as Scott had.
To apply, tell us what inspired you to pursue the automotive field and what challenges you’ve overcome so far.
What drove you to pursue a career in the automotive field? Please also tell us about the challenges you've overcome so far, particularly if you have faced a medical challenge or condition.
