USA BMX announced today that $52,300 in Bob Warnicke Scholarships for 2020 has been awarded to deserving students and their families. Funds are raised annually through the Warnicke Scholarship Race series which assists students and their families in meeting the costs of undergraduate college education, trade school, and other educational avenues they would like to pursue. Awards ranged from $500 to $3,000. USA BMX/BMX Canada members who have a current membership or Track Operators/Officials who participate in BMX racing events sanctioned by USA BMX/BMX Canada are eligible to apply. Since 2013, more than $408,800 has been awarded.

“During this Covid-19 pandemic, it makes USA BMX even more proud of our tracks and incredibly appreciative of our private donors who make this possible to continue this great tradition of assisting in future education,” said USA BMX CEO, B.A. Anderson.

The USA BMX Foundation has created an endowment for the Bob Warnicke Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Each year money raised through the Warnicke Scholarship races and the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is placed into the endowment.
