“The scholarships and grants we are offering this year are important to the future of the collision industry,” said Scott Kruger, I-CAR Education Foundation executive director. “They help remove financial barriers to collision education for students and help collision schools provide the most thorough and modern training needed by the industry. Our goal is that future entry-level collision technicians have the skills and experience necessary to immediately become productive, efficient, and committed workers in collision repair facilities.”
