Ford Supports Military Veterans with Scholarships

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– In a collaboration with the DAV (Disabled American Veterans), Ford supports military Veterans with scholarships through the Trading One Uniform For Another (TOUFA) program. In its second year, the TOUFA program awards scholarships to Veterans interested in earning a certification in automotive maintenance and repair. In a partnership with Quick Lane Tire & Auto, Ford will award scholarships in the amount of $10,000 to five Veterans, which can be used to pay for books, fees, and tuition at universities, trade schools, vocational schools, and other accredited programs.

Nominations are open for the TOUFA program through December 11th, 2017. If you know any Veterans that are interested in the automotive industry, all you have to do is write a short essay on the QL Trading One website on why your nominee is deserving of the scholarship. The scholarship winners will be announced at this year's Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit on December 26th. 

"This scholarship has allowed me to concentrate on my studies more than in the past. I don't have to worry about getting a job to pay for the rest of my schooling, which takes off some of the stress," said veteran Casey Marvicka, one of five 2016 TOUFA scholarship winners. After receiving his scholarship, Casey enrolled in the University of Nebraska. He will be attending classes this fall to improve his skills in automotive maintenance and repair.

“The entire Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center team, which includes over 800 independent Quick Lane operators, is again proud to demonstrate its support for our nation’s veterans in finding meaningful employment,” said Frederiek Toney, president, Global Ford Customer Service Division. “We are honored to stand beside the DAV in awarding these scholarships to our U.S. military veterans, thanking them for their service, and congratulating them on the pursuit of a career in automotive service and maintenance.”

In a partnership with Quick Lane and the DAV, Ford supports military veterans with scholarships to help the heroic Veterans of the United States pursue their passions in the automotive industry.
