In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, NASCAR has teamed up with Chevrolet to provide four (4) scholarships worth a total of $20,000 plus an exclusive VIP trip to the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway in November.
The scholarship presents a unique opportunity for engineering students pursuing careers in STEM who may also have a career interest in motorsports.
Students interested in the scholarship should create a ninety (90) second video, describing a technology in NASCAR and how STEM professionals came to its design. Examples of science and technology in NASCAR include but are not limited to: track banking and construction, race car design, SAFER barrier walls, drafting, gas mileage, tire wear, ethanol fuel, and solar energy. Student videos will be judged on their creativity and technical accuracy.
The deadline to enter is Friday, October 23, 2015. To be eligible, students must be currently enrolled at least part-time in an accredited college or university within the United States, be between the ages of 18 and 25 at time of entry and submit a YouTube video link through the scholarship website.
Four winners will be selected to receive one of four scholarships available. Each finalist and a guest will also be flown to Texas Motor Speedway for an exclusive VIP experience at a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. While there, students will be introduced to NASCAR and Chevrolet drivers, officials and executives and receive a full immersion.
