NASCAR and the Universal Technical Institute recently announced the formation of the Brienne Davis Scholarship Fund for women seeking an automotive technical education.
Davis, a Universal Technical Institute (UTI) graduate and NASCAR Sprint Cup official, died April 8 from injuries sustained in a car accident. She was 28.
“Brienne graduated at the top of her class at UTI and her accomplishments with NASCAR’s events are an inspiration for young women,” said Don Ableson, UTI Foundation president and chairman. “The generosity of The NASCAR Foundation, as well as generous contributions from NASCAR fans, will help women with a passion for motorsports pursue their career dreams in the automotive and NASCAR industries.”
The scholarship fund is intended to provide a qualified female student the opportunity to attend the NASCAR Technical Automotive Program at the UTI’s NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville, N.C. A $10,000 scholarship will be presented each year for one student to attend.
The scholarship is underwritten by proceeds from an online auction of the NASCAR Performance Show Car during The NASCAR Foundation’s initiatives for NASCAR Day 2008. Fans were invited to make donations and bid on the show car. The $16,000 winning bid was designated for the scholarship.
Future scholarships will be underwritten through charitable contributions made to the UTI Foundation and The NASCAR Foundation.
Criteria and scholarship application information are available at www.utifoundation.net.
