The Wendi Allen Scholarship Fund awards funding to encourage women from the general public as well as SCCA’s Solo community to become more successful drivers and contributing members of the SCCA at a Regional, Divisional, and National level. Named and established by the family of Wendi Allen, the scholarship honors the multi-time Solo National Champion who loved and supported SCCA’s autocross community. The Scholarships are now funded primarily through the SCCA Foundation.

Historically the award has been made to three women each year, with two funded by the SCCA Foundation and one funded by Mazda earmarked for a female driver of a Mazda product. The amount of the cash award and the number of awardees may be changed from year-to-year with the advance consent of the SCCA Foundation.

The core award for Foundation scholarship recipients is a grant of $1,500 for each awardee which is to be used to offset travel and other expenses incurred to attend Tire Rack National Solo events during the year. In addition, the SCCA has been waiving entry fees to Tire Rack National Solo events for the award winners.

The award winners will also be connected with a mentor to assist in development as a driver and club leader. The Foundation may also supply decals, shirts, or other promotional materials in support of the award recipients.
