The Hayden Ryel Memorial Scholarship was created to honor Hayden’s passion for trucks, hard work, and the diesel community. Hayden had planned to attend a diesel mechanic program himself, so this scholarship was created to support someone following the same path he dreamed of taking. Each year, the scholarship will fund one full year of a student’s diesel mechanic program, helping them take the next step toward a career they love.

This is also my way of giving back to the community the same way Hayden always did. He was the kind of person who helped anyone who needed it and never hesitated to give his time, energy, or resources to others. Supporting the next generation of diesel mechanics is one way we can continue helping people the way Hayden would have.

This scholarship is funded through the truck show, but if you would like to support the mission, there is an optional donation button below. Every contribution helps us continue investing in future mechanics and carrying Hayden’s legacy forward.
