AfMA offers several paid scholarships for our industry’s Diploma of Leadership & Management (contextualised for the Fleet and Automotive industries) which is facilitated by Swinburne University.
AfMA’s corporate partners, Geotab, Autorola, Ampol, Pedders Suspension & Brakes, and Zurich Resilient Solutions offer general scholarships paid at 50%, whilst Toyota for Business offers a women in fleet scholarship paid at 70% and Fleetcare offers an industry leader scholarship and an indigenous leader scholarship paid at 100%.
Each of these organisations recognise the importance of professionalising the fleet and automotive industries and proudly demonstrate this through their financial support. The scholarships are offered exclusively to AfMA’s corporate members, but the Diploma is open to anyone.
FYI, the 2025 Diploma commences on the 14th February so if you’re interested, contact us urgently 03 9866 6056.
AfMA acknowledges the need for scholarship winners to remain independent of scholarship sponsors, therefore AfMA decide the scholarship winners based on their detailed application and submission (i.e. scholarship sponsors are not involved in selecting the scholarship winner).
AfMA received 11 scholarship applications for the 2025 cohort with each deserving an opportunity however we only have eight scholarships available.
After many hours of reviewing applications and speaking with referees, the judging committee has awarded scholarships to the following people for 2025, noting their thoughts.
