Canadians have figured strongly in The AAM Group 2022 AAM Scholarship awards, netting half of the available awards.

This educational aid program was established to support full-time employees (and their families) of AAM member warehouses in the pursuit of their educational goals at a two-year community college or technical school or a four-year college at the undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate level. 

Each $1,000 scholarship is awarded for one year to a high school graduate in good scholastic standing. 

A committee of independent, third-party evaluators selected the following recipients, who each demonstrated the diligence, rigor and academic achievement the award stands for.

Of the four winners selected in 2022, half were from Canadian members.

Hailey Huchkowski, associated with Dix Performance, graduated high school in June with a 4.0 GPA and plans to pursue a doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences.

Mark Rimmer, whose application came through Lordco Auto Parts, is a repeat winner who graduated high school last year with a 3.8 GPA.  He is currently pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering.

Scholarships also went to John T. Harris (AllPro Distributing) who graduated high school in June with a 4.395 GPA and intends to study biological sciences, and Parker Larson (Motorville), a repeat winner graduated high school in 2019 with a 4.0 GPA.  He is currently pursuing a degree in finance.
