CAR CAREERS Scholarship Program
For over 25 years, CNCDA Scholarship Foundation has fueled a vision to support the demand for an auto technician and management roles critical to California’s retail automotive industry.
CNCDA Scholarship Foundation's Car Careers Scholarship Application – 2.0. is an exciting opportunity for individuals prepared to "Shift their Auto Tech Career into Gear." The annual scholarship program provides larger awards of $5,000 per student, with a total of 20 winners state-wide, plus there will be one state-wide winner who will receive an additional $5,000. The program provides for greater geographic diversity across California's communities - large and small.
We are proud to have awarded scholarships to over 1,300 students, totaling over one million dollars. This represents a total impact of more than $1 million in supporting the State of California's future auto workforce.
