The Sports Car Club of America is now accepting nominations for the Wendi Allen Scholarship, a fund developed to give deserving female autocrossers financial assistance to further their driving ambitions. Nominations should be submitted by February 1, 2017, to Howard Duncan.

Two deserving female Solo drivers will be selected by a committee of influential female Solo champions. Winners of the award are based on two basic criteria. First, the selected drivers will have displayed a certain level of success and skill behind the wheel. Both winners will also be very involved individuals in the Solo community.

The winners of this award will be eligible to receive $1500 to support travel to National Solo events and the Tire Rack Solo National Championship. In addition, SCCA will waive entry fees for the scholarship recipients to all National Solo events throughout the year. The Club will also work with the Solo community and its commercial partners to seek other forms of support for the winners, including driver training, mentoring, product and logistical assistance.

I see it is not a University Scholarship but rather Support Dollars to ease the expenses of getting to National SCCA events. Nice!
