"The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize".
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Each year the Iowa Automotive Recyclers award scholarships to assist IAR Direct
member's children, and the children of their employees, with the cost of a post
secondary education. Students may apply during any year they attend an accredited
institution.
During this economic recovery, colleges are cutting back on scholarships, grants
and other forms of financial aid available to students due to funding cuts to
education. That's why these scholarships are more important than ever.

IAR Scholarship Fund The Iowa Automotive Recyclers scholarship fund was established in 2007 for the children and employees of the Iowa Automotive Recycler Association members as a way to help offset the cost of their continuing education.
The scholarship is open to a student who is an owner or a relative of recycling yard owner of the salvage yard that is a direct member of the Iowa Auto Recyclers, or employees or dependant of an employee of the member yard who has been employed for at least one year.
The funds for the scholarships are generated through the IAR Outing Auction. We are thankful for all the support that we have received from our members in making it possible to provide scholarships to these deserving individuals. $5,000 was awarded in scholarships in the fall term.
