ARANY Scholarship Program

Investing in the Future of ARANY Families

Helping eligible students pursue trade, technical, college, and university education with scholarship support.

Education Support That Strengthens Our Industry

The ARANY Scholarship Program helps make higher education more accessible for the families and employees behind New York’s automotive recycling industry. Created as a meaningful member benefit, the program provides financial support to eligible students pursuing post-secondary education at accredited trade schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities.
By investing in educational and career opportunities, ARANY is investing in stronger families, a skilled workforce, and the long-term future of our industry. Scholarships of up to $1,000 per year may be awarded for as many as four years, with recipients asked to renew their application annually for continued consideration.
