Supporting those Who Served - Geotab partners with The Hourglass Foundation to launch Veterans Scholarship

ATLANTA, GA — February 5, 2026 - Geotab Inc. (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset management solutions announced the launch of the Geotab Veterans Scholarship in partnership with The Hourglass Foundation. Open to U.S. military veterans and service members pursuing skilled trades education in automotive repair or automotive technology, engineering tech or similar skilled trades programs at U.S. institutions, this initiative will award three full two-year scholarships to veterans transitioning into the civilian workforce. By helping to remove financial barriers to technical certifications and higher education, the scholarship enables veterans to translate their military expertise into high-demand roles within the telematics and data industries.

“Veterans bring a mission-first mindset and a level of leadership under pressure that is difficult to teach. These are skills of benefit to our industry and beyond,” notes Vito Centofanti, Vice President, Sales at Geotab. “By helping to remove the financial barriers to specialized certifications and higher education, we are supporting future leaders of the fleet and data industries.”

Empowering Transition and Removing Barriers 

The Geotab Veterans Scholarship program focuses on:

• Bridging the Gap: Translating military logistics and technical experience into civilian credentials.
• Investing in Talent: Positioning veterans as a vital resource for the future of the connected transportation sector.
• Service After Service: Providing long-term career stability and a renewed sense of mission in the civilian world.
• The Power of Partnership: This collaboration leverages the synergy between Geotab’s industry leadership and technological platform and The Hourglass Foundation’s deep community reach and advocacy.

“We are proud to partner with Geotab to launch this scholarship, which perfectly aligns with our mission to empower individuals through education,” said Kim Davidson, Executive Director at The Hourglass Foundation. “Geotab’s focus on data and fleet management requires the exact kind of precision and logistical expertise that veterans already possess. This initiative is about helping them find ‘service after service’ in a civilian career that offers long-term stability and purpose.”
