The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame has created the Future Legends, a scholarship program to support the next generation of off-road racing.

For its first year, the program will award five scholarships worth $25,000 in total:

• Two $5,000 Advocacy Scholarships: For those who promote public land access and responsible off-roading.
• Two $5,000 Media Scholarships: For journalists, photographers, filmmakers, and content creators covering off-road racing. Scholarship recipients will also be invited to cover an ORMHOF event, with all expenses paid by the Hall.
• One $5,000 Fab School Scholarship: For aspiring fabricators, engineers, welders, and mechanics. Applicants must either be currently enrolled at The Fab School or plan to attend it.

Registrants must be between the ages of 18 and 35. While the Media and Fab School Scholarships are individual awards, organizations are eligible for Advocacy.

When signing up, the applicant is to write an essay of at most 500 words about how the scholarship will help them contribute to the off-road community, discuss their affiliations and disclose any sponsorships and industry support, and provide three letters of recommendation.

“Off-road motorsports has always been built by people willing to innovate, create, and give back,” Hall of Fame board chair Mark McMillin stated. “The Future Legends Scholarship Program is about recognizing that potential early, providing meaningful opportunities, and ensuring the next generation has the tools to continue growing and protecting our sport.”

The application process runs from August 1 through 31, which is followed by a review and selection period. Winners will be notified in the first week of October and recognized at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame Gala on November 1.
