Record Number of Students Apply for Craftsman Tool Grant through the I-CAR Education Foundation
Nearly 100 students applied for a Craftsman tool grant through the I-CAR Education Foundation that was available this spring. This resulted in a record amount of applicants for a Foundation grant and/or scholarship. Out of the student applicants, seventeen were selected to receive a set of Craftsman tools valued at $575 each.The donated tool kits included a 268 piece Mechanic Tool Set with Lift-Top Lid Case plus a Microtork Torque Wrench, a Craftsman 20 piece Super-Duty Punch and Chisel Set, and a Craftsman 7-piece Fiberglass Handle Body and Fender Repair Tool Set.
“We are thrilled to partner with I-CAR Education Foundation to arm these students with Craftsman tools, and in turn help them on their journey to becoming professionals in their trade,” said Laura Sardegna, Brand Director for Craftsman. “Craftsman is America’s most trusted tool brand and these tools can be used for years to come. No matter what path the students choose, they will have the tools necessary to tackle any project.”
I-CAR Education Foundation Executive Director Scott Kruger commented, “We thank Craftsman for their generous tool donation to the Education Foundation and joining us in helping to equip these future professionals of the industry with the proper tools and equipment. This was the first time the Foundation offered a ‘tool scholarship’ and we were overwhelmed with applications from deserving students from around country. This incredible response helps show students' need for tools for their eventual career within the industry.”
The I-CAR Education Foundation, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to securing donations that support philanthropic and collision repair education activities that promote and enhance career opportunities in the industry.
