The Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association (INEDA) is pleased to share that it has awarded $100,000 in matching scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year to 68 students pursuing careers with Iowa and Nebraska equipment dealerships.
“The Andrew Goodman Scholarship program allows Grosshans International to financially support individuals with a passion for the ag equipment and technology field,” said Doug Glunz of Grosshans International. “It serves as an important resource for recruiting and developing skilled professionals who contribute to our customers' success.”
The Andrew Goodman Scholarship program, created in 2008, helps address the technician and employee shortage and also helps dealers attract and nurture homegrown talent. Since 2008, INEDA has awarded more than $935,000 to 792 students through the program.
INEDA President and CEO Mark Hennessey shared his pride in supporting students, stating, “INEDA and our members are honored to help students pursue their goals and aspirations. Technical education lays a strong foundation for numerous career paths, and an equipment dealership is the ideal place for those dreams to take shape.”
The Andrew Goodman Scholarship is an annual matching scholarship program available to all employees/potential employees of members of INEDA in good standing. INEDA matches scholarship amounts awarded by dealers to eligible applicants up to $1500 per applicant per year. Applications are due annually by April 15.
