The Villa Capri Cruisers Car Club, Inc. presented a $1,500 check to support the organization’s annual scholarship for Johnson College Automotive Technology students with demonstrated financial need. The club also gifted the school with a new automotive toolbox. This year marks the 13th year that the scholarship has been awarded to Johnson College students. Funds are raised through donations, volunteer work, sponsorships, and annual calendar sales.

Graduates can work for employers in the automotive career fields of automotive, truck, farm, and earthmoving equipment dealerships; truck, power generation, and construction companies; automotive service centers; engine repair/machine shops; automotive equipment distributors; independent service garages; automotive parts manufacturers; sales representation; and auto insurance companies.
