IAD FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATION
In 1995 George White of
Ames led a group of dealers to establish the IAD Foundation for Education.
George encouraged dealers to be more charitable and to give back to the industry
and their communities. His efforts helped to establish this Foundation.
Our Vision
The IAD Foundation for
Education promotes career opportunities in the automobile and
truck sales and service industry in Iowa.
Our Mission
We invest in the future of
the motor vehicle sales and service industry by awarding automotive
scholarships. We also develop programs and incentives with high schools,
colleges, educational agencies, and the public to encourage automotive careers.
SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES
Applications are available
each January and scholarships are awarded in the spring. Applicants must be
committed to pursuing automotive-related studies at a two or four-year
post-secondary institution, and must demonstrate satisfactory performance in
those studies.
Click here for the 2010 Scholarship application. All applications
are due at IADA by 5pm on Monday, March 15th.
SCHOLARSHIP
WINNERS
The young adults who have
received a scholarship come from all over Iowa. Most attend an Iowa community
college. Many scholarship winners study to become automotive technicians, while
some students have studied collision repair, and others have pursued diesel
training.
