CDK Global, together with the National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers, announced that the seventh annual “Fueling Careers” scholarship program is now accepting applications. The scholarship program was established to support ethnic minority high school students of dealership employees who demonstrate financial need in their pursuit of a college education.

The “Fueling Careers” Scholarship Program, funded by CDK Global, will once again award up to five $10,000 scholarships to high school seniors entering an accredited college or university. NAMAD members can select dealership employees to participate in the program.

“We have an exceptional chance and a crucial duty to play a role in shaping the future talent for the automotive industry,” said Hugene Fields, NAMAD president. “Supporting our minority dealer community has been an imperative agenda for both NAMAD and CDK Global, and implementing this scholarship program, we are clearing the path for exceptional students within our minority dealer network to excel.”

CDK Global introduced the program in 2017 and has awarded over $300,000 in scholarships to outstanding recipients.
