Ten Service Companies Receive Technician Scholarships

Parts Town awarded $15,000 worth of tech scholarships during CFESA’s annual conference last month.

Ten companies earned the honors, with each scholarship consisting of a $1,000 CFESA training scholarship and a $500 cash prize. Recipients were: American Kitchen Machinery, Archway Service Group, Arrowhead Superior Refrigeration, CKI Service Group, Coker Service, CTS Inc., Diamond Refrigeration, Hawkins Commercial, Malachy Parts & Service, and Smart Care Equipment Solutions.

Each company will select an employee to receive the training.

These scholarships are in addition to Parts Town’s regional recipients, announced throughout the year.

Since launching the program in 2022, Parts Town says it has awarded more than $85,000 in scholarships, including over $22,000 in 2025. The annual initiative supports the commercial kitchen service community by funding CFESA training scholarships in key areas, such as gas, electric, water and refrigeration, along with an additional cash award.
