Applications are now available for the opportunity to receive one of 12 $2,500 Garage Gurus Automotive Technician Scholarships for the 2020-2021 school year. All materials must be submitted by April 30, 2020. Winners will be announced on or about June 1, 2020.

“For us, everything begins with the service technician, so we remain committed to help provide them with the skills, training and knowledge they need to ensure quality repairs,” said Dennis Sheran, director, channel engagement, DRiV. “Through our Garage Gurus platform, we will continue to address the skills gap and technician shortages facing the automotive service industry to make it stronger and more successful.”
