NAFA Fleet Management Association has launched a scholarship program for fleet professionals pursuing its Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) credential. It will award up to four scholarships a year.
Each scholarship covers NAFA’s All Access Enrollment Bundle, which provides three years of access to eight certification modules. The bundle includes digital guidebooks, eLearning courses, on-demand Boot Camp videos, study guides, access to the CAFM candidate community, monthly Office Hours and one exam attempt per module.
“Professional development is essential to advancing the fleet industry, and we want to ensure that financial barriers don’t prevent talented professionals from taking the next step in their careers,” said Bill Schankel, CAE, CEO of NAFA.
Who Can Apply
The scholarship is open to NAFA members and nonmembers. Applicants must:
- Have at least three years of fleet experience and meet CAFM certification eligibility requirements
- Demonstrate financial need
- Be a first-time CAFM candidate
- Be in good standing with NAFA, with no ethics or conduct violations
Scholarships are valued at the NAFA member enrollment rate, so nonmember recipients pay the difference between the member and nonmember rates. Membership dues, travel and exam retake fees are not included.
How to Apply
Applicants submit three brief responses covering their financial need, how earning the CAFM credential would affect their careers and their commitment to completing the program. NAFA’s CAFM Commission will evaluate applications on financial need, merit and potential professional impact.
Applications are due Jan. 5, 2027. Eligibility details and the application are on NAFA’s scholarship page.
Recipients will join a scholarship cohort with mentorship opportunities and quarterly meetings to support their progress toward certification. NAFA will announce recipients each year at its Institute & Expo, and attendance is not required to receive an award.
