Atlanta, GA (Dec. 19) - Applications are now open for STEAM Sports Foundation’s 2025-26 scholarships in motorsports/automotive engineering. The scholarships target both female minorities and those with disabilities as defined by the American Disabilities Act.
The foundation prefers four-year college applicants who will enter their 2025 fall semester as rising juniors or seniors. It also considers two-year technical school students whose focus is to become an automotive technician or mechanic.
STEAM Sports Foundation has provided fourteen $5,000 scholarships to eleven students since its grant program began in 2021. All scholarship recipients are invited to two “Immersion Tour” weekends at a major OEM’s technical and research facilities in North Carolina and Michigan. The NC facility in Concord focuses specifically on motorsports.
“Traditionally, we have not opened the scholarship process until the beginning of the year,” said foundation director Bob Dickinson, “but interest has grown, and students may have time during their holiday break to focus on the application more than the beginning of next semester when a lot is going on.”
Applications close May 15 and are awarded by the end of June. The application form can be accessed via the STEAM Sports Foundation website: www.steamsportsfoundation.org and using the STEAM Sports Foundation tab and dropdowns.
