CAAO sent an email out yesterday about two scholarships available for seniors. It was a popular email, so we want to include the information here for those that frequent the CAAO website.
1. The National Association of Black Suppliers (NABS) scholarship
The National Association of Black Suppliers (NABS) scholarship is a stipend of up to $5000 per year for up to five years that can be used for tuition, room and board and fees at a college or university of the awardees’ choice. It is awarded to African-American students who have graduated from high school, demonstrated outstanding academic and community leadership, and who enroll full-time in engineering, technology, business or a related curriculum.
The NABS Scholarship Purpose
The intent of the NABS scholarship is to provide financial and academic support to high achieving African-American students who intend to pursue careers in or related to the automotive industry. The scholarship efforts are intended to meet three goals:
o To encourage students to develop entrepreneurial skills, as this may lead to an increase in the number of African-American automotive suppliers.
o To recognize the accomplishments of outstanding African-American students and encourage their entry into technology and business careers.
o To provide highly qualified African-American recruits to meet the hiring objectives of NABS trade association members.
Eligibility
To be considered for the NABS Scholarship, potential scholars must meet the following criteria:
o Be a graduating African-American high school senior.
o Be a U.S. citizen
o Plan to be enrolled in a full-time (12 credit hours or more) undergraduate engineering, technology, business, or a related curriculum of interest to NABS.
(Actual enrollment is required before any awarded funds can be disbursed.)
o Posses a cumulative 3.0 GPA or better on a 4.0 scale throughout your high school career.
