MacKay & Company Scholarship

Since 1968, MacKay & Company has had the privilege to serve the Aftermarket and all of its players — Manufacturers, Distributors, Suppliers, Fleets, Dealers, Associations and the Investment Community. In order to maintain talent in our industry, it is essential to invest in the future of the Aftermarket and provide opportunity to those who are just starting out.
