Autel Announces Second Annual Scholarship Program for Automotive Students

Autel U.S. has announced that applications are open for the Second Annual Autel Awarding Excellence Scholarships in a recent press release.

Part of Autel Cares, the company's philanthropic initiative, the program will award five $5,000 scholarships, for a total of $25,000, to help students offset tuition, tools, books, supplies, and education expenses.

This year, eligibility has expanded to include adult learners returning to school or transitioning from another career into automotive education.

Applicants must be enrolled in or planning to attend a trade school, college, or university automotive repair program. Candidates pursuing mechanical repair, tire and rim service, glass repair, collision repair, locksmithing, heavy duty/diesel repair, ADAS calibration, diagnostics, or related fields will be considered.

To apply, students must submit a 500- to 600-word essay or 2- to 3-minute video describing their path to automotive education, how the scholarship would support their training, and the goals, obstacles, and career they are building in automotive repair. Applications are available online and must be submitted by Sept. 28, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET. Recipients will be announced on Aug. 27, 2026.

“Last year's scholarship recipients represented the talent, dedication, and promise that will help shape the future of automotive repair,” said Chloe Hung, CEO of Autel U.S. “This year, we are excited to build on that momentum by opening the program to both recent graduates and adult learners pursuing automotive education as a new career path.”
