Awards

CEDF scholarships are currently set at up to $1,000 per recipient per year. The CEDF Board, based on the availability of funds, will determine the number of scholarships and the amount of the scholarships available on an an­nual basis. Scholarship funds will be divided at the dis­cretion of the Board as follows:

  • Ag Technician Programs
  • Parts & Sales Programs
  • Other higher education curriculums approved by dealers as being beneficial to dealership operations, including but not limited to; business, accounting and management.

The CEDF Board of Directors will deter­mine awards. If scholarship requests exceed funds available, the scholarship awards will be made by random drawing.

Scholarship awards are renewable for each subsequent year of the student’s educational program, as long as the student remains eligi­ble and the dealer principal agrees to partici­pate with matching funds. Students must re­apply annually, and submit a progress report from their faculty advisor, dean or department chairperson.

Scholarship funds will be directed to the student to offset costs of tuition after the com­pletion of their semester or school year. Any breech of enrollment or unsatisfactory per­formance in the course of a student’s studies will result in cancellation of the scholarship, at which time any remaining scholarship funds will be returned equally to the dealer and as­sociation.
