Deadline for 2025 Scholarships Has Expired!
The New Braunfels Area Car Club awards scholarships to deserving area high school seniors who intend to pursue studies in automotive related fields. Scholarships are awarded to students enrolling in either 4 year colleges or trade school programs. The amount is $2000, and at least one scholarship is awarded per year (last year we awarded 6!). Funds are awarded through the New Braunfels Community Foundation.
Interested students must apply on line at the website shown below. The application window for 2025 scholarships closed on March 3rd. Interested 2026 seniors can apply beginning in January of 2026. You will need to furnish a 7 semester transcript from your high school that includes your GPA and class rank. Simply go to the website and click on the 3 lines in the upper right corner. Open the "Grants/Scholarships" choice, then "apply for scholarships". Scroll down to the New Braunfels Area Car Club Scholarship and click on the blue heading. Scroll down and hit "Apply". You will probably have to create a new account if you haven't already applied for New Braunfels Community Foundation scholarships. Good luck!
