IYRS School of Boatbuilding & Restoration awarded $20K in scholarship funds

NEWPORT – The Hagerty Education Program at America’s Car Museum has awarded $20,000 in scholarship funds to the IYRS School of Boatbuilding & Restoration.
Grant funds will support four $5,000 scholarships for students who meet financial need criteria in the IYRS Boatbuilding & Restoration program. The students who will be awarded these scholarships will be named the Hagerty Education Program Boat Restoration Scholars.
IYRS provides accredited experiential education programs, preparing students to work in industries that support building, preservation and restoration. IYRS students, including women and veterans, develop deeply technical and craft-based industrial skills that have produced a greater than 90 percent job placement rate for the school.
“We are honored to partner with The Hagerty Education Program at America’s Car Museum,” said IYRS President Terry Nathan. “This generous scholarship support is vital to many talented applicants to the school who otherwise could not financially afford an IYRS education.”
Hagerty Education Program at America’s Car Museum is an educational grant-making program of LeMay-America’s Car Museum. HEP is funded by collector vehicle and classic boat enthusiasts to serve youth and young adults on their pathways to careers in automotive/marine restoration and preservation, along with the long-term interests of the collector vehicle and classic boat communities.
