The Automotive Hall of Fame tells the stories of outstanding automotive achievement, including how the industry impacts the world. Established in 1939, the Hall honors the contributions of the early automobile pioneers from the world over. They generously award over $20,000 through the Automotive Hall of Fame Scholarships to students with a genuine interest in an automotive career. Through these scholarships, the Hall hopes to support the next generation of students with financial need as they pursue their academic goals.

Who is eligible for Automotive Hall of Fame Scholarships?

To be eligible for a scholarship, you must:

• Submit a completed application form indicating a sincere interest in an automotive career

• Submit a letter of acceptance for an associate, bachelor, or masters program
• Be a United States citizen or in the United States on a Student Visa
• Enroll as a full-time student

Students attending a technical training school may also apply (trade school should equal a two-year associate program).

Three are multiple requirements for this application, so make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to apply. While the application does not require an essay, those two recommendations take time for whoever you ask, so think ahead!
