Scholarship Info

2011 was the first year Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame awarded an automotive scholarship.  Our goal was to award one or two $2000 scholarships each year to a deserving young individual(s) who are students at Lake Washington Institute of Technology www.lwtech.edu

 

We strive to recognize desire and talent in our industry, not by considering highest grade point average, but by recognizing students with the drive to succeed who are in need of financial assistance to reach their automotive dreams.   When we started offering scholarships last year, our scholarship director suggested we reach out to LWIT. We've found LWIT's program and reputation so impressive, the faculty so cooperative, and the students so talented, we decided to provide our scholarships to students of this college exclusively.

 

In 2011, the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame awarded two scholarships to LWIT students. This year we were able to find additional donors to increase the scholarship offerings to five.

 

To be eligible for the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame scholarships, students must be enrolled at LWIT in any automotive, motorcycle, marine, diesel and heavy equipment, or power equipment program; currently hold a 3.0 or higher grade point average; receive a letter of recommendation from a member of LWIT's faculty; and submit an essay on how they came to be at LWIT. A scholarship committee reviews applications and determines the winners.

We are hoping to award 5 scholarships in 2013.  Donations may be mailed to the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame c/o Helen Meadows, 10832 1st Ave SE, Everett WA  98208.  Please reference the Scholarship Program on your check.  If you have any questions, please contact Shag Clark, Scholarship Director at streetrat38@msn.com
