Bakersfield Area GMC Dealer Proud Of Scholarship Winners
Visalia Buick GMC, a leading dealer for Bakersfield GMC shoppers, is happy to announce that the first five recipients of the Buick Achievers Scholarship Program were named today. These college-bound students from around the country will each receive a scholarship of up to $25,000 that is renewable for up to four years.
The $4.5 million-a-year scholarship program, which Buick and the General Motors Foundation announced in February, will recognize and reward 1,100 students from across the United States who excel both in the classroom and in the community. The program is funded by the GM Foundation and available through this Bakersfield area GMC dealer.
“Through the Buick Achievers Scholarship program we are reinvesting in America,” said John T. Montford, Chairman, GM Foundation. “The availability of Buick Achievers Scholarship funds is expected to make a significant difference in these students’ lives. The high-dollar value and renewability of the awards will provide recipients with a tremendous benefit throughout their college careers and help ensure that they reach their potential.”
According to The College Board®, the average annual tuition increase in 2010-2011 was 7.9 percent at public universities and 4.5 percent at private colleges. These figures are substantially higher than both the general inflation rate and personal income growth.
“This scholarship program aligns with Buick’s efforts to inspire, celebrate, and enable human achievement,” said Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president, Buick Marketing.

Eligible fields of study include science, technology, engineering, mathematics, design, marketing and business administration.
