Scholarship

The MJK Foundation was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to carry forward the values, legacy, and spirit of Mike Kuzdzal, a man whose life embodied hard work, humility, and a deep love for the automotive trade.

Mike began his career with little more than a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. Through dedication, perseverance, and skill, he rose through the ranks in the automotive field, earning the respect of his peers and the admiration of everyone who had the privilege of working with him. He was a mentor, a problem-solver, and a role model for what it means to build a career from the ground up.

After Mike’s passing, we knew we wanted to honor his memory in a way that would continue his impact for generations to come. That’s why we created the MJK Foundation Bertera Metro Scholarship.

This scholarship supports individuals who, like Mike, have the passion and drive to succeed in the automotive field but may lack the financial resources to pursue formal training. We believe that talent and determination should never be held back by economic barriers. Through this scholarship, we aim to open doors, spark careers, and inspire a new generation of skilled technicians.
