Auto Value has announced the 25 recipients of its 2025 scholarship awards from across Canada and the U.S.

Each successful applicant is receiving $1,000 toward their academic pursuits.

These scholarships reflect the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance’s ongoing commitment to supporting the education and professional development of the next generation of aftermarket leaders.

“We are excited to recognize the accomplishments of these students and proud to invest in the future of our industry,” said Jim Holik, Director of Marketing of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Inc., program headquarters of Auto Value.

“These scholarships help the next generation of industry professionals, and we are happy to recognize these deserving students as they continue their education.”

To be considered, applicants submitted essays, academic transcripts, and letters of recommendation.

Eligibility required students to be employees — or children of employees — at an Auto Value, or Confidence Plus Certified Service Center.

Applications were reviewed by the University of the Aftermarket Foundation, which selected recipients based on merit.

Since its inception in 2001, the Auto Value Scholarship Program has awarded over $600,000 to students across North America. These scholarships empower students to pursue careers in automotive service, business, engineering, and beyond — helping to ensure a skilled, passionate workforce for the future of the industry.

“Education opens doors, and we’re honored to help open a few for these deserving recipients,” Holik added.
