BTA Awards 24 Scholarships

$1.635 million has been awarded to students since 1984-85

Kansas City, Mo. — The Business Technology Association (BTA; www.bta.org) has announced its 2018-19 scholarship winners. Twenty-four students were awarded scholarships.

Each year, BTA awards one $3,000 and a number of $1,000 and $1,500 scholarships to qualifying children of full-time employees of dealerships that are current BTA members. Since the 1984-85 school year, BTA has presented 1,446 scholarships to deserving students, totaling $1.635 million.

The BTA Scholarship Foundation is supported by continuing contributions from individual dealers, as well as manufacturers and distributors.

On Feb. 23, 1968, the Dorothy R. Ames Scholarship Fund was announced in honor of Ames at her retirement dinner in Great Neck, Long Island, New York, for her many contributions to the industry. Ames retired as the executive vice president of the Ames Supply Co. Ultimately, the fund became the BTA Scholarship Foundation, benefiting the sons and daughters of employees of BTA member dealerships nationwide.
