AMI
Announces Applications for the $1,000 Zurich “High Octane” Scholarship
Application Deadline is Aug. 24
Colleyville, Texas, April 19, 2012 — The Automotive
Management Institute (AMI) is accepting applications for the $1,000 Zurich
“High Octane” Scholarship. AMI’s resource development effort, EXCEL, in
conjunction with Zurich, formerly Universal Underwriters Group, established the
scholarship, which is awarded to an Automotive Service Association (ASA)
Mechanical Division member who strives to be, or is presently working in a
management capacity.
Zurich introduced the scholarship program
specifically to address the educational needs of the automotive aftermarket. A
leader in the automotive insurance industry, Zurich provides a range of
customized products for the automotive aftermarket.
The scholarship will be applied toward the
recipient’s expenses to attend the 2012 Congress of Automotive Repair and
Service (CARS) in New Orleans, Oct. 10-13. CARS is sponsored by ASA and offers
an educational lineup of AMI seminars, technical training courses and industry
sessions, a trade show and the opportunity to network with other automotive
service professionals.
To be eligible for the award, the
following requirements must be met: applicants must work in the mechanical repair
industry; must demonstrate an interest in self-improvement through education
and training; must own or work for a business that is an ASA member in good
standing; and, if the applicant is not the business owner, must be recommended
by the owner. AMI Trustees and their employees, and Zurich and its employees,
are not eligible to apply.
To request a scholarship application, call
AMI at (800) 272-7467, ext. 101, or fill out a scholarship application online
at www.amionline.org.
Applications must be received by AMI on or before Aug. 24, 2012. The
scholarship recipient will be notified by AMI on or before Aug. 31, 2012.
AMI was established to answer the demand
for continuing education tailored specifically for the business needs of the
automotive service industry. The Institute offers the Accredited Automotive
Manager (AAM) designation, the first business management accreditation
exclusively for the automotive service professional. To date, AMI programs have
attracted more than 212,000 enrollments throughout North America. AMI is a
not-for-profit educational foundation to which tax-deductible contributions can
be made. For more information about the Institute, its curriculum, or EXCEL,
