MRAA opens scholarship applications

The MRAA Educational Foundation has opened the 2025 scholarships and awards application forms to its members. This year, the foundation has also expanded its scholarship opportunities to fund more training and development across the industry.
New for 2025 is the Service Excellence Scholarship package. This package will award one dealership an all-expenses-paid enrollment in MRAA’s Service Advisor Certification program, an all-expenses-paid enrollment in MRAA’s Service Management Certification program, and reimbursement of up to $2,500 for a technician from the dealership to attend a training program of the dealership’s choice.
The MRAA Educational Foundation will also extend the Darlene Briggs Marine Industry Woman of the Year Scholarship to a woman in leadership, or aspiring to hold a leadership position in the marine industry, so they may attend a women’s leadership program of their choice. The scholarship will be presented in the name of the 2025 Darlene Briggs Marine Industry Woman of the Year Award recipient, and it has a value of approximately $3,000.
The MRAA Educational Foundation will also offer scholarships for the Kevin Lodder Business Management Scholarship, the Duane Spader Leadership Development Scholarship, and the Darlene Briggs Marine Industry Woman of the Year Award.
