Hoffman Estates, IL – March 7, 2008– In support of its new mission, the I-CAR Education Foundation is proud to announce $30,000 in collision repair training and education scholarships to assist deserving students pursuing a career in the collision industry. This scholarship is in part funded by the Collision Repair Education Campaign, formerly the $100 per Collision Repair Facility per Year Campaign.

I-CAR Education Foundation Trustee Geralynn Kottschade stated, “The future of the collision industry is in the young men and women enrolled in our career and technical schools and colleges. We take great pride in being part of the development and training of our future technicians and look forward to offering continued support.”

Applicants for the scholarships that are attending secondary schools must be a senior in a collision repair training class with plans to continue their education in the collision industry after graduation.
