TECHNICIANS OF TOMORROW EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

MWACA Midwest Auto Care Alliance (formerly ASA-Midwest) has hosted VISION Hi-Tech Training and Expo for over 30 years, and an important part of our activity has been awarding scholarships to deserving students involved in a high school or post-secondary automotive career program. Our goal is to help ease the shortage of qualified technicians by providing financial resources to upcoming industry professionals.

The Technicians of Tomorrow Education Foundation (TTEF) was created to fund these annual scholarships. TTEF is a 501C(3) charitable foundation, so all donations are tax-deductible. As the program continues to grow there still remains a need for continued giving. Please complete the attached form to contribute to the future of our industry.
