Community Support For Education Through Racing

Why is this newsworthy?
To ensure motorcycle racers are provided an opportunity to have access to scholarship funds much like traditional sports offer in order to further their educational goals.
How does it work?
Race promoters that want to incorporate the Cash for Class component into their race event will work with On Track School in communicating to the community and organizing fundraising efforts for the event. Riders will enroll by completing an application to qualify.
Who can donate?
Our local motocross community, businesses, individuals, and OEM’s, literally anyone. Tax free donations are made to On Track Learning Solutions, a 501 C-3 nonprofit entity.
How do athletes receive the scholarship funds?
Awards are provided based on overall scores at the event. Using the national 529 Education Savings Plans, recipients of the awards will sign up for an account and funds will be transferred to be used as designated by the savings plan toward college or private K-12 schools.

Is this a proven concept?
Yes. The concept of having motocross racers compete for funds towards their education was piloted at Georgia Practice Facility in their Ca$h for Class event with the help of a dedicated team including Andrea Leib, Director & Founder of On Track School, Tasha Renfro, Operations Coach of On Track School, Josh, Terry, and Ray Woods of GPF (Georgia Practice Facility), with full support from the AMA.
Wiseco Performance Products Scholarship
Wiseco was founded on grassroots racing over 75 years ago and continues to operate through the passion of the sport. Donations made to On Track School help to assist students in need of financial support toward tuition. The recognition of our program through strong supporters of education such as Wiseco speaks volumes to the need they are helping to address one student at a time. It is our hope that as an industry we can be the village it takes to propel our athletes into a future of successful achievements.
