The GAAS scholarships are funded partially by a grant from Zurich’s High-Octane Scholarship Program, designed to address the educational needs of students looking to enter automotive aftermarket fields.

“These 20 scholarship recipients not only demonstrate a desire to work in specific industry segments, but they also meet the criteria Zurich identified based on input received from customers,” said Bob Tschippert, senior vice president for Zurich’s Direct Markets group. “Zurich values the close relationships we have with customers, and we are committed to helping their industries grow and succeed.” (Tire Reviw/Akron)
