Andrew Mazza Foundation
Trucks For Trade
Our scholarship initiative, Trucks for Trades started in 2022, provides scholarships exclusively for Trade Students in Northeast Pa. Supported solely by our Diesel Jam Truck Show and its generous sponsors, Our goal is to bring awareness to the need for skilled trade workers, highlight the many opportunities that the industries can provide and the spotlight the financial potential they have. Why exclusively trade students? Because in today’s world they have become overlooked just as the jobs they are training for. They have been passed by for a 4-year college student pursuing a degree with an enormous price tag for jobs that are becoming fewer and farther between.
We are currently offering Andrew Mazza Diesel Jam Scholarships in the amount of $500, at the following schools for a student pursuing a career in any trade or currently enrolled and a trade program. If your school is listed, please see your guidance dept for deadlines and further information.
