π This is a friendly reminder that the 2026 Ford Auto Tech Scholarship Program is open!
In collaboration with Ford Dealers, Ford Philanthropy is welcoming the next generation of auto technicians by awarding $5,000 scholarships to students pursuing careers in today's automotive technology industry, including diesel programs.
Spanning 43 states and 600+ eligible schools, the Ford Auto Tech Scholarship will grant 800 need-based awards to current and future students enrolled in post-secondary auto, diesel, or auto/diesel technician training programs across the U.S.
This need-based scholarship is applied directly to a student's tuition account and can be used to cover the full cost of attendance, including tuition, tools, living expenses, and transportation.
