The NHADA Education Foundation works to strengthen the level of automotive technology education in New Hampshire by providing a link between the dealer community and local high school automotive programs. This partnership facilitates scholarship programs, tool and equipment donations, job shadowing, and part-time/full-time work opportunities. We can’t thank you, our members and partners, enough for making sure that tomorrow’s technicians are successful! We would also like to thank the Exeter Area New Car Dealers for raising $10,000 to help the NHAEF to be able to award $85,000 vs. $75,000 this year!
