Education Field Trip Scholarship Application

There is no cash generated by NASCAR Hall of Fame Foundation scholarships. NHOF Foundation scholarship funds awarded are applied to the school’s invoice generated on the date the school is scheduled to come for their education workshop. The actual amount applied to the invoice (as a scholarship credit) is based on the number of students who show up on the day of the visit and attend the workshop at the Hall of Fame. The school is responsible for paying any remaining balance and will be indicated on the invoice.

Scholarship applications may take up to seven business days to process.

No. The scholarship funds are awarded as a percentage only for the number of students who attend the workshops, so there should be no credits.

The requirements for follow-up communications with the NHOF Education staff and/or the Group Sales Manager are outlined in the NHOF Foundation Scholarship Process and Application documents.

Each applicant will be notified by email.

Scholarship funds are available for grades Pre-K- 12^th grades.

The guidelines for eligibility are outlined in the NHOF Foundation’s Scholarship Procedure document.

The NHOF Foundation will evaluate additional outlets for scholarship recipients as funding and space are available.

Yes. Please fill out the online application.

The Foundation will award scholarships based on funds available.

The Foundation’s mission is to share scholarship funds with a broad geographic spectrum of schools. We will evaluate each application on its own merit, but we want to give all schools that meet eligibility guidelines an opportunity to win scholarship funds for their students.

Each application will be judged on its own merit; winning scholarship funds in a prior year does not preclude a school from winning funds again, nor does it guarantee an additional award of scholarship funds.

To demonstrate a strong teaching relevance and connection, please explain exactly the topic studied in the classroom (for instance friction as a force, not science or force in motion).

Schools must submit the following via email (faxes not accepted):

• Completed application form, including principal’s signature verifying the information contained in the application is accurate.
• Applications submitted without the principal’s signature are considered incomplete applications. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed by the Foundation Scholarship team.
• We must have specific date(s) of your visit to complete your application. If you need to change the date, you may do so as long as the date remains within the time period in which you originally applied.

Admission and education workshop costs for students and group leaders/chaperones (per NHOF established ratio of one chaperone free for every 10 students in attendance) to visit the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Please be as accurate as possible estimating how many of your students will participate in the field trip. This will allow your classroom and other students in need of admission assistance to have a field trip this school year.

Once you are awarded the admission scholarship, we understand that your student count may fluctuate. If your student count increases after you have received approval for a scholarship, this must be covered by the school.

If there is a reduction in the number of students, this will be reflected in your scholarship.

The spring season is the Hall’s busiest time for school groups; during the week, Thursdays and Fridays are the most popular. We recommend Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday field trips when possible.

Field trips/numbers are limited on a given day.
