CAWA, Representing the Automotive Parts Industry, is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2024 automotive high school teachers' scholarship awards. Named the Motorcar Parts of America - Selwyn Joffe Awards, CAWA provided four scholarships this year to high school teachers to support their automotive programs. "CAWA is proud to assist these automotive high school teachers, in part, to assure their programs remain viable and well-resourced for the benefit of their students and our industry", said Rodney Pierini, President and CEO, in announcing the awards.
Recipients of the scholarships include:
• Keith Benson, Petaluma High School – funds for classroom supplies
• Gregory Kraus, Amistad High School – funds for certification
• Chris Waller, Claycord STEM Program - funds for classroom supplies
• Brian Wheeler, Alhambra High School – funds for student national competition during SEMA
The primary scholarship fundraising effort for this program is CAWA's annual dinner gala held traditionally the Sunday night before the AAPEX and SEMA shows. This year, the gala will be held on November 3, 2024 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas and is sponsored, once again, by the Motorcar Parts of America. For details, contact programs@cawa.org.
