The deadline to apply for the Michael Busch Memorial Scholarships is March 31. Presented by the ASE Education Foundation, two scholarships will be awarded for the 2024-25 academic year to students pursuing a career in the collision industry.
Qualified applicants should be a graduating high school senior or have graduated from high school or received a 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 in 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.
