SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund

College is expensive. SEMA can help. If you know someone preparing for a career in the automotive industry, we’re ready to lend a hand. And if you know someone with outstanding student loans, we can help, too. SEMA maintains a program to pay part of the college tuition costs of today’s top students or contribute toward your employees’ student loans.

Apply online today.

The SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund is dedicated to fostering the next generation of industry leaders and innovators. We offer scholarships to today’s brightest students at universities, colleges, and/or vocational schools in both the United States and Canada.
