ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO FIND GOOD, QUALITY EMPLOYEES?


Participate in our dealer-driven scholarship program and help those aspiring to work at your dealership.


The Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association (INEDA) offers a limited number of matching fund scholarships each spring to assist in the training of current and potential employees of Iowa and Nebraska equipment dealers. This program is an effort by INEDA to address a serious shortage of dealership personnel by attracting and nurturing homegrown talent. In addition, it gives dealers the flexibility to assist those aspiring toward management, technical, sales or administrative posi- tions within the dealership. To date, the INEDA Matching Scholarship program has awarded $375,500 to deserving young men and women.


This year, INEDA is excited to announce a major change to the scholarship program that will further help students with the soaring costs of education – a 2 to 1 scholarship match up to $2000. This means if a dealer commits $1000 in funding, the Association will match the scholarship with $2000, for a grand total of $3000 (for the 2017-2018 school year).


The INEDA Matching Fund scholarship is not a general-purpose scholarship. Its intent is specifically to provide dealer- ship training funds. Dealers must approve applicants as a current employee or potential future employee and approve the applicant’s course of study as being relevant to dealership operations. And, they should approach a student only if there is an established mutual interest in having that student employed at the dealership when the student’s training is complete. In addition, applicants must also be accepted or enrolled as full-time students in the approved course of study (two- and four-year degree programs are eligible).
