It all began in 1996 when the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium (GAAS) started funding scholarships for automotive aftermarket students. In 2004, we took our application and reviewing processes fully online. Since then, additional donors have joined us, and in 2016, the University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF) took over the program's operation.

To date, we have awarded more than 5,000 scholarships, thanks to GAAS, UAF, Women in Auto Care, and many other collaborating organizations. Priority is given to those pursuing a career in the automotive aftermarket and sons and daughters of industry families. Join us in shaping the future of the automotive industry by applying now.
