Scholarships?

Hey everybody, this is a crazy long shot but I was just wondering if there were any programs that did scholarships relating to classic cars? I’m planning on going to a 4 year and unfortunately a lot of scholarships relating to cars are only for going to trade school as an auto mechanic.

I was just wondering because I feel like young guys working on these things are a little bit on the rare side so maybe if one of the large organizations like OCA did something. I couldn’t find anything. Thanks for any help in advance! I still got to write some killer college essays about my classic car

Are you looking for an "open type scholarship"? As in a scholarship that an organization gives out to be used at the school of your choice as long as it goes toward a degree in a certain field of study. Or, are you looking for a scholarship to a restoration program and open to attending whatever school offers it? The above scholarships would apply if you attend that particular school. If you already decided on a school and are trying to find scholarships to pay for it, you may need to look locally. Many local area companies and organizations offer scholarships for students going into trades, etc. What area are you in? What schools have you applied to? For what degree programs?
