Empowering Skilled Hands to Build a Better Future

The S.I.M.S. Scholarship Foundation was founded by Bradley and Billie Sims, owners of Sims Automotive Repair in Copperas Cove, Texas. In a world where financial barriers often limit opportunity, the foundation serves as a bridge between ambition and achievement. By supporting skilled trades — from automotive and electrical work to plumbing, welding, HVAC, nursing, cosmetology, and more — we help students turn their goals into careers. Every scholarship awarded not only changes an individual life but also strengthens the communities we all share.
  • Opens Doors to Education & Training

Supporting Innovative Minds and Skills

Founded by Bradley and Billie Sims, owners of Sims Automotive Repair in Copperas Cove, Texas, the S.I.M.S. Scholarship Foundation was created to honor skilled trades and the people who keep our communities running. Bradley built his business from the ground up, fueled by grit, determination, and the belief that not every student belongs in a lecture hall — some are meant to build, repair, and create with their own hands.
