For the past three years, the UTI Foundation of the Universal Technical Institute has partnered with the NASCAR Foundation to offer one $10,000 Brienne Davis Memorial Scholarship for a qualified female student who will pursue an automotive technology education at any UTI campus. An additional $3,000 scholarship provided by C&R Racing will also be awarded.
The scholarship is given in honor of Brienne Davis, a UTI graduate and NASCAR official who was killed in a car accident in 2008, in order to increase the number of women in NASCAR and the motorsports industry. Davis was one of a few female officials in the sport of NASCAR.
Recently, over 20 NASCAR drivers, celebrities and The Charlies Daniels Band participated in a Jail and Bail Event to raise over $150,000 for the UTI Foundation and the Brienne Davis Scholarship Program.
In order to qualify for the scholarship, female students must be enrolled at an UTI campus with a future start date in 2011, complete a scholarship application that includes a letter of recommendation, and write a 250 word essay on financial need, passion for NASCAR and motorsports education, and how the scholarship will help her pursue a career in racing.
The deadline for completing the application is December 31, 2010. For more information, visit the UTI Foundation’s website here.
