TTEF Student Scholarships – Now Open!
MWACA is proud to support the next generation of automotive service professionals through our student scholarship program. With generous support from TTEF donors, we offer a minimum of four $1,000 scholarships each year to help students pursuing a career in the automotive service industry cover tuition and educational expenses.

Each scholarship recipient also receives a weekend training pass to attend the VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo—one of the industry’s premier events for hands-on technical and management training. Instructors of the recipients are invited as well, and all are honored on stage during VISION’s Awards Ceremony.

This single application allows students to be considered for:

  • The TTEF Student Scholarship

  • The Des Moines Area Student Scholarship, a $1,000 award reserved for students who attend the Des Moines Chapter Career Panel on October 1. Eligible Des Moines applicants will also be automatically considered for the TTEF scholarship.
