More Than A Car Dealership

What do you think of then you think of Ford? We all know the basic facts. Ford is an auto manufacturer, its founder is Henry, the Tin Lizzie, etc. It's also one of the staples of American heritage. What else is a staple of American heritage? Small towns and hard-working people. In these small towns, the community thrives. Everyone and everybody knows one another. Just like Miranda Lambert sings, "Everybody dies famous in a small town." Well, Victory doesn't plan to die any time soon, but it sure hopes to make a mark here in Dyersville. Those who may not be familiar with Victory may think, "Oh it's just a car dealership." or, "They sell Fords." While that may be true, Victory is also A LOT more involved than just giving people quality cars. We support the surrounding areas in more ways than one and if you didn't know, now you will! 

Victory Ford is very active in the lives of students. From little tykes to graduating seniors, Victory supports and enriches these kids in many ways.



Reading 4 A Reason is program Victory does throughout the school year and into the summer months. It encourages children to read and enjoy books! Reading enhances speech and vocabulary in young, budding minds. As you can see on the left, there are plenty of ways children get to be rewarded for keeping up on their reading. Maxx Mustang  even gets involved and the kids love it! If you're interested in starting up Reading 4 A Reason, call Kalie @ (563) 875-2409. You won't be dissapointed!

Another way Victory gets involved in students' lives is through scholarships. Currently, Victory supports both Beckman Catholic High School and Western Dubuque High School. We have several different scholarships that run throughout the year. 





Our Athlete of the Month scholarship  one that Victory  Ford Created to honor the local students who excel not only in athletics but in academics and leadership. Throughout the year the students will be nominated by a board that consist of coaches and administrative staff. Once a selection has been made the student will be contacted and will receive a certificate and a Athlete of the Month - Fueling the dream Scholarship application form. The scholarship will only be offered to those athletes who were selected as Victory Ford's Athlete of the Month, and will have a chance to receive $1000.00 towards furthering their education and athletics.






Another scholarship program Victory has is the Fueling Your Education award. It is for all students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity. There will be one studentselected from Western Dubuque High School as the Fueling Your Education Scholarship winner and will receive $500.00 to further their education. The student must be able to supply a list of the current and past extracurricular activities, an official or unofficial transcript, a letter of recommendation from their teacher, and a short essay describing the how they were impacted being involved in such extracurricular activities.
