Applications Now Available for Busch Memorial Scholarships
The ASE Education Foundation is accepting applications for the Michael Busch Memorial Scholarships until March 31, 2025. Two scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year will be awarded to students planning to enter the collision industry.
Qualified applicants should be a graduating high school senior, a high school graduate or have earned GED certificate. In addition, applicants should be enrolled or planning to enroll as a full-time student in a two- or four-year college or university or an ASE-accredited post-secondary collision repair program.
The Michael Busch Memorial Scholarships were created in memory of the son of a former collision shop owner and ASE board member, Jim Busch, who operated a shop in Issaquah, Washington until his retirement. His son, Michael, was an automotive technology student who tragically lost his battle with cancer.
