Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for New York's Automotive Scholarship Grants
The Foundation's Scholarship Grants for Automotive College Students in New York aim to address specific needs within the state's automotive industry. New York's unique blend of urban and rural areas creates a diverse demand for skilled automotive professionals. The Empire State Development Corporation, a key state agency, supports workforce development initiatives that align with the grant's objectives.
New York's automotive sector faces a shortage of skilled technicians, particularly in rural areas and the Upstate region. The grant prioritizes outcomes that address this gap. By supporting students pursuing careers in automotive technology, the grant contributes to the state's economic development. The New York State Department of Labor reports a growing demand for automotive service technicians and mechanics, with a projected 4% employment growth from 2020 to 2030.
Priority Outcomes and Their Significance in New York
The grant focuses on three primary outcomes:
- Increasing the number of skilled automotive technicians in New York's workforce.
- Enhancing the state's automotive industry competitiveness, particularly in regions like the Buffalo-Niagara area.
- Supporting the development of post-secondary automotive programs in New York's colleges and universities.
These outcomes are crucial for New York's economy, as a well-trained workforce attracts businesses and investments. The grant's emphasis on supporting students in authorized U.S. colleges or universities, ASE/NATEF Certified post-secondary automotive schools, and graduating high school seniors aligns with the state's education and workforce development priorities. For instance, the grant can help institutions like the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) enhance their automotive programs.
New York City, with its dense population and high vehicle density, presents unique challenges for the automotive industry. The grant's support for students planning careers in automotive technology can help address issues like air quality and vehicle emissions in the city. Additionally, the grant's focus on supporting students from diverse backgrounds can contribute to the state's efforts to promote equity in education and employment.
Applicants for the grant should demonstrate how their proposed projects will contribute to these priority outcomes. This may involve partnerships with state agencies, such as the New York State Department of Education, or with industry partners, like the New York State Automobile Dealers Association.
Measuring Success in New York
The success of the grant will be measured by the number of students supported, their graduation rates, and their employment outcomes in New York's automotive industry. The Foundation will track the impact of the grant on the state's workforce development and economic growth. By investing in the education and training of automotive professionals, the grant contributes to New York's economic competitiveness and quality of life.
As applicants prepare their proposals, they should consider the state's specific needs and opportunities. For example, they can explore how their projects might address the unique challenges faced by rural areas or the opportunities presented by the growing demand for electric vehicle technicians.

A revised third question will replace the old one. Q: Are there specific state agencies or resources that applicants should consult when preparing their proposals for New York?
