Support the Students

Scholarship Fund

All of McPherson College students receive some form of financial aid. Gifts to the scholarship fund help students afford to pursue their dreams. Contact Amanda for more information.

Red Wrench Club

Launched by a group of alumni, the Red Wrench Club is an annual giving effort to help provide a variety of tools and equipment for our shops – from engine rebuilding to trim, from chassis to metalshaping. Contact Amanda for more information.

Experience Fund

Sponsor an off campus learning experience for students. Includes trips to concours, auctions and other events around the country where students can view the diversity of the car collecting world while learning about networking, resourcing and judging. Recent sponsorships have included travel to Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance, The Amelia, Audrain Newport Concours and Motor Week, and many others.

Professional Development Fund

Just as students need opportunities to expand their knowledge, so do our faculty! Perhaps you’d like to sponsor a faculty internship. Faculty can apply for funding for short-term experiences at shops and museums across the country, bringing that knowledge back to the classroom. Faculty members have gone to workshops and continuing education experiences to stay on top of trends in the industry and to hone their skills.

Internships

Over the last 5 years, an average of 85% of our students have participated in internships at museums, private collections and shops across the United States and in Germany. Students return from these experiences with a perspective that can’t be taught in a classroom. Many graduates look back on these opportunities as life and career-changing times, helping them hone in on the path they want to pursue. If you’re interested in funding or hosting an internship, please contact us.
