Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

  • Full-time U.S. or Canadian employees, employed as of the date of notification, of North American National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) member auctions or Corporate offices and their children, step-children and grandchildren.
    • If an employee becomes disabled, retires or dies during the application process their children or grandchildren are still eligible.
    • If an employee transfers from one NAAA Chapter/Corporate Office (CO) to another after an application has been submitted, employee must meet all eligibility requirements at the current Chapter/CO at the time of award notification.
