NBEAA Advocate for Electric Vehicles Adoption Scholarship
North Bay Electric Auto Association is committed to the future of electric vehicles, a future that lies in the hands of the next generation of students.
Electric vehicles boast many advantages over traditional cars, offering efficiency and significant savings from using electricity rather than gas. Electric vehicles are also considerably more environmentally conscious than gas-powered vehicles. Unfortunately, many people are wary of changing their habits and trying electric vehicles. Our goal is to educate and advocate for the rapid adoption of electric vehicles.
This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about advancing the adoption of electric vehicles.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or trade school student who is pursuing engineering, environmental science, public policy, auto mechanics, or technology with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have financial need and if they’re in the following counties in Northern California: Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, or Sonoma. Applicants must be electric vehicle enthusiasts.
To apply, tell us what changes are required to expand the adoption of electric vehicles and what features you would like to see in future electric vehicles. Additionally, upload any images you have of your current activities with electric vehicles, such as projects, roadtrips, or charging experiences.
