SMP Invests in Future of Automotive Import Industry

The future of the automotive industry brings to mind high-tech gadgetry such as computerized engines and self-piloted cars. But there’s another component to the industry’s future that Standard Motor Products wants to invest in: the people.

That’s why SMP launched the Intermotor^® Import Leader Automotive Scholarship Contest. After the contest ends on July 31, 2015, two deserving students currently enrolled full-time in high school or an accredited two- or four-year college, university or post-high school educational program will each receive a $5,000 scholarship to apply toward their studies. Entries will be evaluated based on relevance, creativity and thoughtfulness relating to the automotive import industry. Complete rules and contest information can be found at www.IntermotorImport.com/Scholarship.

Commenting on the contest, Phil Hutchens, Vice President Engine Management Marketing, SMP, said, "At SMP, we are dedicated to investing in the future of our industry.
