About the Foundation
In 1995, George White of George White Chevrolet
in Ames led a group of dealers to establish the Iowa Automobile Dealers (IAD) Foundation for Education.
White encouraged dealers to to give back to the industry
and their communities. His vision for the foundation became reality, and in 1998 the IAD Foundation awarded its first scholarships.
Our Vision
The IAD Foundation for
Education promotes career opportunities in the motor vehicle sales and service industry in Iowa.
Our Mission
We invest in the future of
the motor vehicle sales and service industry by awarding
scholarships to students pursuing careers in the automotive industry. We also develop programs and incentives with high schools,
colleges, educational agencies, and the public to encourage the pursuit of automotive careers.
