Buick Achievers Scholarship ProgramThe Buick Achievers Scholarship Program just announced that it was awarding $4.2 million in scholarships to over 1,100 scholars pursuing “STEM” careers—careers related science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, which are central to the automotive industry.

The program gives $25,000 to 100 students renewable for four years, with one additional year for those entering a qualified, five-year engineering program. Another 1,000 students receive up to $2,000 for academic expenses. Since the program’s inception in 2011, this adds up to $16.5 million in scholarships to more than 4,200 students.

According to U.S. News & World Report, STEM jobs are expected to grow by 17% by 2018. The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program helps to prepare young people for these jobs and inspire them to pursue STEM careers that can be used in the automotive industry.

The program is funded by the General Motors Foundation, which has since 2007 funded over $42 million in educational programs and institutions to help pave the way for tomorrow’s innovators and leaders.
