WAI Global/Bill Ernst Memorial Scholarship Established

WAI Global, in conjunction with the University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF), is pleased to announce the WAI Global/Bill Ernst Memorial Scholarship.

The WAI Global/Bill Ernst Memorial Scholarship will present one $2,500 annual scholarship designated for a student pursuing a career in the automotive aftermarket industry. The scholarship is available to students in two-year technical college programs and vocational schools and four-year college programs and is subject to the same requirements as other UAF scholarships: applicants must be enrolled full-time in a college-level program or an ASE / NATEF (National Automotive Technician Education Foundation) certified automotive technical program. Graduate programs and part-time undergraduate programs do not qualify.

Bill Ernst was employed by WAI for 20 years as a warehouse manager, account manager, and senior account manager. He represented all that was good in a dedicated employee. He was tenacious in obtaining new and retaining current business, driven by what was in the best interest of the company and the customer. He was universally well-liked, and a true pillar of the remanufacturing industry. Applicants should consider these attributes when applying.

Recipients will be chosen by a selection committee appointed by the University of the Aftermarket Foundation (including a representative from WAI Global), using completed electronic applications filed at the Scholarship website, http://www.AutomotiveScholarships.com, and will adhere to the UAF scholarship deadlines for student applications and committee selection/awards.
