PHOENIX — The Universal Technical Institute (UTI) Foundation announced Kenneth Mazurczak, who attends UTI Sacramento, was selected as the first Roger Penske “Outstanding Student” recipient. He will receive a $12,000 cash award to repay education debt or buy tools.
Penske donated $100,000 to create the outstanding student awards for individuals approaching graduation who have demonstrated excellent academic achievement and are recognized as consummate team players by fellow students and instructors at UTI.
Students who fit the criteria, complete the application and gain the endorsement of an instructor are encouraged to self-nominate for the award. UTI provides technical education for individuals pursuing careers as professional automotive, collision repair, diesel, marine or motorcycle technicians.
“Universal Technical Institute recruits and trains exceptional people, and these graduates are in high demand in the automobile and diesel service industry,” says Penske, chairman of Penske Corp. “It is my hope these awards will encourage students to do their best, aim higher and be willing to assist others.”
