Join LNESC to Learn More About the Ford Auto Tech Scholarship

LNESC is excited to announce the Ford Auto Tech Scholarship Program, designed to support students pursuing a career as an automotive technician. In collaboration with Ford Dealers, the Ford Fund welcomes the next generation of auto technicians by awarding $5,000 ($2,500 per semester) scholarships for tuition to financially-struggling students pursuing careers in auto and auto/diesel technology.

This scholarship is an opportunity for students to receive financial assistance to help with the costs of their education, thanks to the generous support of the Ford Fund and the TechForce Foundation.

To learn more about the scholarship program and the application process, LNESC invites you to join our upcoming information session on Wednesday, June 14 at 4 pm PT / 5 pm MT / 6 pm CT / 7 pm ET. Our Programs Manager at LNESC Dallas, Roger Romero, will be there to answer all your questions regarding the application process.

LNESC will also be holding a raffle for those who attend the information session in full. One individual will win a $50 VISA gift card, while two attendees will each receive a $25 VISA gift card.
