As more and more of the “old-school” tinkerers, mechanics, professional tradespeople and skilled technicians retire or age out of the the industry, we have to start finding ways to support those that
are eager to come in and ultimately, will be responsible for carrying on the vast elements of vintage car ownership and restoration. To, as a club, promote and help our young people interested in more than just car ownership, but also those committed to will be relied upon to maintain and restore our cars well into the future.  Having been through this program, I can speak from experience though it is not inexpensive. The cost of education alone is astronomical, but with it comes not only the cost of learning, but also the tools and equipment needed when not in the classroom. The experiences along the way such as attending major car events, traveling to internships, paying for housing or meals. This all adds up well beyond what financial aid covers. While scholarships are heavily promoted to students as well as “under the hood” training at internships, it amounts to a huge financial burden to be able to do these things, which can be quite a challenge, particularly
as a student.  So I am working to establish an Edsel Owners Club named scholarship and we need your help!
