Alan Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship

The Alan Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship recognizes Alan’s dedication to education and his ability to inspire others.  The Kulwicki Scholarship was established at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte through the generosity of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.  The scholarship was funded by the sale of a special Winston Cup Champion’s poster, which commemorates Kulwicki’s 1992 championship season, and contributions from friends.

The $1500 scholarship is awarded each year to an outstanding high school graduate who has an affiliation with NASCAR and who exemplifies Alan’s experience and commitment.  The award is renewable annually up to four years for full-time students attending UNC Charlotte.

To be considered for this scholarship, you must: (1) apply and be admissible to UNC Charlotte, (2) show evidence of NASCAR affiliation, and (3) show evidence of academic achievement and financial need.
