2025 Bright Future Scholarship

Washington’s franchised new car and truck dealers have worked hard to grow their businesses and are great employers who give back to their communities. Together, they provide over 21,000 people with good, family-wage jobs in 70 communities around the state.

A career as a dealership employee and/or automotive technician offers a bright future with outstanding opportunities and benefits. We encourage you to consider employment at a franchised new car and truck dealership as you complete your training and educational programs.

The Washington State Auto Dealers Association (WSADA) will award six (6) $3,000 scholarships to individuals currently enrolled or planning to enroll in a Washington State automotive technology program (full list of schools available at www.wsada.org/training-locations).

In addition, three (3) $3,000 scholarships will also be awarded to Washington State high school seniors who are an employee of a WSADA-member dealership, an immediate family member of a WSADA-member dealership employee or applying to Northwood University’s Automotive Marketing and Management Program.
