Michael Hinrich Memorial Scholarship
I have always had a love for cars. From a very young age, I would "help" my dad when he would work on our cars at home (more like getting told to hold the flashlight). As my dad would work I would watch him and try to figure out what was broken and how he fixed it. Doing this for years helped me be able to learn more and more until I began teaching myself how to work on small things on my own. Slowly as I grew up those small things got bigger and bigger and so did my passion for cars.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to turn my love for cars into my career. I thought I would just go into the workforce and find something that paid the bills like my parents, but one day while I was sitting at lunch a recruiter for Universal Technical Institute (UTI) walked up to me and handed me a packet. I found out I could make my dreams into a reality. I was later accepted early into UTI. I want to be able to change the way people especially women are seen in the automotive field. I want to show everyone that anyone can be the best of the best if they try there hardest and love what they do.

When I finally turned 16 and got my car I would spend hours working on it and not once did my love for cars stop.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to turn my love for cars into my career. I thought I would just go into the workforce and find something that paid the bills like my parents, but one day while I was sitting at lunch a recruiter for Universal Technical Institute walked up to me and handed me a packet. I didn’t think much of it until I started to read more and more. I found out I could make my dreams into a reality. so I took that home and showed my parents, my mom was interested but skeptical but my dad was so excited. We booked a tour of the campus and that was when I truly fell in love with UTI, I got to see all the opportunities I have and all the places I can go in life. I want to change the way people look at the automotive field, I hope to show others that being a mechanic isn't just turning a wrench. I want to show young girls that cars are not just for boys there for everyone. I want to be a trailblazer for my family and show them you do not need a master's degree and lots of money to have a good life. Most importantly I want to make everyone who has ever believed in me proud. I am inspired to make the automotive field more welcoming to everyone and change how people view blue-collar workers and how they get to where they are. I want people to see that a blue-collar work is a profession not just a job.
Tim Williams Automotive Student Scholarship
I am applying for this scholarship in the hope of some financial help. I have been accepted into Universal Technical Institute and can not afford to pay for it on my own.
