The ASC Educational Foundation’s goal is to be the foremost training and educational mechanism for students and those wishing to increase their technical skill level to further their careers in the automotive repair field. As the foundation grows the goals will surely increase to sustain any future opportunities to assist aspiring automotive technicians.
The ASCEF provides educational and training opportunities, scholarships and endowments in the field of automotive repair and maintenance in the State of California.
The ASC Educational Foundation was created by the Women’s auxiliary of ASCCA. Known as the ASCettes, they wanted to provide scholarships and financial assistance to students wishing to develop a career in the automotive field. The ASCettes began raising money by raffling off handmade quilts. The Foundation has grown over the years and is now directed by a seven-member Board of Trustees.
Through the incredible generosity of our donors, ASCEF has been changing the lives of hundreds of students pursuing technical education and wanting to create a career in the automotive field. The monies raised go to provide educational scholarships and support various training programs throughout the state. Many scholarship recipients have found employment opportunities in ASCCA shops – providing a great recruitment tool for current ASCCA members seeking to hire qualified technicians!
