EL PASO AUTOMOBILE DEALERS REWARD $35,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO LOCAL STUDENTS The El Paso New Car Dealers Association (EPNCDA) and its board members are pleased to announce another record year for the Scholarship Program, giving away $35,000 for the 2023-2024 academic year. The recipients were recognized on Wednesday, June 14, at the EPNCDA Annual Luncheon. The 21 students each received a $1,000-$5,000 scholarship. The EPNCDA Scholarship Fund was established in 2015, thanks to the success of the EPNCDA’s Annual Golf Tournament and Skeet & Trap Shoot. The Association has remained dedicated to continued education for students in the El Paso community and has already awarded over $177,000 to 154 students, all local dealership employees, or their dependents. “We are proud to support the families of dealership employees throughout El Paso,” said Alfred Alvarado, General Manager of Casa Ford Lincoln and President of EPNCDA. “Giving our children a college education is every parent’s dream, so we hope these scholarships help make that dream a reality for our employees.” The car business continues to evolve each year with new challenges and innovations, from inventory availability to the electrification of transportation. With an ever-changing industry, dealers rely on their employees to grow with the business to continue to bring quality service to local customers. “The dealers consider their employees the backbone of their business, and supporting them is a top priority,” says EPNCDA Executive Director Lexi Buquet. “We hope these scholarships relieve some of the financial burdens to support a higher education for their children.” Updates about the EPNCDA Scholarship Program and upcoming events can be found at www.facebook.com/epncda. $5,000 Scholarship Melody Geiger The University of Texas at Austin *Hyundai of El Paso $3,000 Scholarship Alondra Ramirez El Paso Community College *Hoy Family Auto Stephanie Flores St. Mary’s University *Hoy Family Auto $2,000 Scholarship Zoraya Yanar New Mexico State University *Casa Ford Lincoln Luis-Carlos Jurado University of Texas at El Paso *Porsche El Paso $1,500 Scholarship Katia Gutierrez University of Texas at El Paso *Casa Kia Isabel Jurado University of Texas at El Paso *Porsche El Paso Santiago Jurado University of Texas at El Paso *Porsche El Paso Mia Rocha University of Texas at El Paso *Charlie Clark Nissan Alan Alvarado The New School *Casa Ford Blanca Ayala University of Texas at Austin *Rudolph Honda Kiara Rodriguez Zazueta University of Texas at El Paso *Giles Volvo at El Paso Jorge Salazar El Paso Community College *Hoy Family Auto $1,000 Scholarship Valeria Martinez University of Texas at El Paso *Sunland Park CJDR Paloma Palmer Texas A&M University *Casa Ford Warren Palmer Texas A&M University *Casa Ford Faith Ruiz El Paso Community College *Rudolph Honda Obed Castaneda Western Technical College *Mission Chevrolet Lilian Martinez University of Texas at El Paso *Casa Ford Andres Torres Western Technical College *Mission Chevrolet Yalet Yanar New Mexico State University *Casa Ford *Dealer member associated with the recipient. 2023-2024 El Paso New Car Dealers Association Scholarship Recipients 25 DEALERS’ CHOICE
