In 2004, the automotive hobby lost an incredible man. Elliott “Chip” Miller passed away from a rare and horrible disease, Amyloidosis. Chip co-founded Carlisle Events and spent his life building some of the world’s greatest car shows. These events bring automotive enthusiasts from around the world together each year. It would be impossible to calculate Chip’s contribution to the automotive hobby but one thing is certain; his passion was second to none and continues to inspire enthusiasts, both young and old alike.

Chip’s life was cut short, but his legacy continues through the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation. The Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation was created by his family and friends to honor Chip and empower people with the knowledge and understanding of amyloidosis for earlier detection, ensure a better quality of life for those afflicted with the disease and help science find the cure.

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the loss of this great mentor and friend. The Chip Miller Memorial Scholarship is established to honor Chip's contributions and commitment to the automotive industry and hobby.

This scholarship will support the next generation of students who share Chip's love for everything automotive and is open to any high school, undergraduate, graduate, or trade school student pursuing a career in the automotive field. 

To apply, please share a story of your passion, your career hopes and how they relate to the automotive industry.
