The scholarship is intended to support the next generation of students who share Chip’s love for all things automotive. This amazing opportunity is open to any high school, undergraduate, graduate, or trade school student pursuing a career in the automotive field. Multiple $1,000 awards are available, with winners announced on May 30, 2025. The application window will be open December 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025.
