“We at Ford believe that fostering the development of top creative talent through quality institutions like LTU is a priority and critical to our objective of Design Leadership,” stated Lon Zaback, Creative Operations Manager of Ford North American Design.

Education is a top priority of the Ford Motor Company Fund and more than $1 million in scholarships are provided by Ford each year.
