To the parents, teachers, mentors, family, and friends of our honored students, who have played such an integral part in the success of our scholars, we are grateful to you for providing us with such motivated individuals who are on the path of intentional success.

Our 26th Annual Awards Celebration took place on the Beautiful Ovation Yacht. We cruised down the Detroit River and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Detroit Skyline on Thursday, July 18, 2024, our title sponsor for this event was General Motors.

Our keynote speaker was Tanya Skilton, Executive Director Strategy Innovation and Customer Care, GPSC, General Motors. Her enlightening speech, filled with wisdom, deeply resonated with our Scholars. The insights that she shared, backed by her rich experience and vast knowledge, provided an entirely new perspective, which we are certain will be incredibly beneficial overall to our scholars and all in attendance.

Because of Companies like General Motors and many others our event was a resounding success.

We awarded $50,000 in scholarships to Detroit Metropolitan African American and a couple out of state High School Seniors pursuing careers in the automotive industry and other areas.

On behalf of the NABS Scholarship Fund Board we would like to say thank you to our Title Sponsor: GM, our NABS Circle of Friends Sponsor: Ford Motor Company Admiral Sponsor: Detroit Chassis LLC, our Nautical Sponsor: John James Group International,  JMA Logistics , our Hands on Deck Sponsor DTE Energy Foundation, Magna International and our Anchor Sponsor: Flex-N-Gate.

Without your support our students would not have the opportunity to attend the Universities of their choice; and for that we say Thank You!

Proceeds from this year’s Celebration will fund scholarships and provide mentoring for our outstanding seniors who will pursue careers related to the automotive, financial and tech Industry.

SAVE THE DATE for our 37th Awards Celebration and Float Your Boat all in one event, will be held on Thursday, July 17, 2025
