Colleyville,
Texas, April 19, 2012 — The Automotive Management
Institute (AMI), is accepting applications for the $1,000 Automotive Video Inc.

conjunction with AVI established the scholarship to help automotive service
professionals obtain the management education and technical training essential
for success in today’s ever-changing industry.
AVI, a leader in automotive diagnostic and
repair training programs for automotive repair professionals since 1994, will
fund the scholarship.
The educational
scholarship program is aimed at helping to develop quality technicians,
managers and shop owners. The scholarship will be
applied toward the recipients’ expenses to attend the 2012 Congress of
Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) in New Orleans, Oct. 10-13. CARS is
sponsored by the Automotive Service Association (ASA) and offers an educational
lineup of AMI seminars, technical training courses and industry sessions, a
tradeshow and the opportunity to network with other automotive professionals.
To be eligible for the award, applicants must
be a minimum of 21 years of age; must have a minimum of two years work experience
in the mechanical repair industry; must demonstrate an interest in self-improvement
through education and training; and if the applicant is not the business owner,
must be recommended by the owner. AMI trustees and their employees, and AVI
employees, are not eligible to apply.
To request a scholarship application, call
AMI at (800) 272-7467, ext. 1011, or complete the scholarship application
