The spring 2014 NexTech CAR Scholarships have been awarded to two OSU Motorsports students, Evan Yarrington and Roxanne Manger. Both were selected to receive $1,000.00 scholarships to offset education costs in spring 2014.

Each of the recipients were selected from a group of Ohio State applicants and were chosen based on input from a submitted essay. Yarrington is the marketing manager for the Baja Buckeyes SAE, while Manger is a member of the university's Supermileage SAE team. As further recognition of the scholarships, awardees will be invited to a luncheon with donor, CEO/President of NexTech Materials, Bill Dawson.

This annual scholarship is awarded to two worthy students who are active members of OSU Motorsports.
