Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to collision repair students for the 2025-26 academic year.
The ASE Education Foundation announced applications are now open for the Michael Busch Memorial Scholarships, which will provide financial assistance to students preparing for careers in the collision repair industry.
Applications are being accepted through March 31 for two $1,000 scholarships that will be awarded for the 2025-26 academic year.
The scholarships are available to high school seniors, high school graduates or individuals with a GED certificate who are enrolling or planning to enroll as full-time students in a two- or four-year college, university or an ASE-accredited post-secondary collision repair program.
Established in memory of Michael Busch, the scholarships honor the son of Jim Busch, a former collision shop owner and ASE board member from Issaquah, WA. Michael was an automotive technology student who tragically lost his battle with cancer.
