There’s money on the table. A lot of money. But you need to act fast if you want to be the one of the ones to claim it.
SCCA® Women on Track scholarships are still available for competitors looking to take part in two of SCCA’s major fall events. If you’re a woman interested in competing at this year’s United States RoadRally Challenge® or RallyCross® National Championship Presented by Bingham Equipment Company, now’s the time to apply for one of four $500 scholarships.
The SCCA Women on Track program has already awarded scholarships to competitors across SCCA’s Road Racing and Time Trials programs, helping women offset the costs of getting to the events.
Among this year’s recent recipients, Kayla Ployhar received a $500 SCCA Women on Track Time Trials Scholarship for the Thunderhill Raceway Park Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge event – she then scored a bonus when the Time Attack program handed her another entry coupon she could use at the upcoming Time Attack Challenge at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Trish Berlant received a pair of $500 Time Trials Scholarships for events at Reno and Thunderhill.
In SCCA Road Racing, Kaila Kiesel and Alice Stern each received $1,000 toward Road Racing Drivers’ School expenses, helping them take a step toward competing wheel to wheel. The program will also support Carolyn Bayer-Broring and Shelby Robbins, who will each receive $500 as part of the SCCA Women on Track Runoffs Volunteer Scholarships.
But that’s not all – and this is where you come in. SCCA Women on Track has two more scholarship opportunities for 2026.
The first set of scholarships is for the United States RoadRally Challenge (USRRC), taking place Oct. 9-11, 2026, in the St. Louis, MO, area. RoadRally teams will put their driving, navigation, observation, and timing skills to the test, all at an event that is celebrating 100 years of Route 66.
The second set of scholarships is the RallyCross National Championship Presented by Bingham Equipment Company, taking place Oct. 16-18, 2026, at the Camp Verde Equestrian Center in Camp Verde, AZ. RallyCross competitors will battle on multiple challenging dirt courses, where car control, precision, and speed mix with loose surfaces as drivers grapple for success.
For the RallyCross National Championship and USRRC, SCCA Women on Track has two $500 scholarships available for each, for a total of four scholarships and $2,000 in assistance. The funds are intended to help cover expenses associated with participating in the events, offering recipients extra support as they pursue their motorsports goals.
