The Bob Warnicke Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to assist students and their families in meeting the costs of undergraduate college education, trade school, etc. BMX Canada/USA BMX members who have a current BMX Canada/USA BMX license or Track Operators/Officials who participate in BMX racing events sanctioned by BMX Canada/USA BMX are eligible to apply.

In 2015, the Warnicke Scholarship program awarded $75,000 to 74 individual students with BMX backgrounds - selected from 76 applicants. As more tracks and riders get involved in the Warnicke Scholarship races, the number and amount of scholarships awarded will only grow.

"As our sport has increased participation in our Bob Warnicke Scholarship races, the BMX Canada/USA BMX Foundation is able to give more back to our members — those who are balancing college life with their favorite sport, BMX racing," said BMX Canada/USA BMX’s CEO, B.A. Anderson. "All of us at BMX Canada/USA BMX are thrilled to hand out a record amount — $75,000 — to a record number of students."

About Bob Warnicke

The Bob Warnicke Memorial Scholarship Program was established in 1995 to honor the memory of the National Bicycle League's late vice president. Bob passed away Nov.16, 1994, at the young age of 48 years old. Bob played a very active role in BMX for 10 years and was well known for his instrumental role in bringing BMX to millions of viewers through the airing of the "NBL Road to Glory Series" on ESPN2 and ESPN. His accomplishments in television promotion resulted in his being named the NBL's Volunteer of the Year at Competition Congress in 1994.

More than anything else, Bob was a person who cared deeply about the sport of BMX. His dedication showed his commitment to the youth who benefited from his efforts. The Scholarship Program preserves Bob Warnicke's legacy of love by contributing to the futures of deserving USA BMX and BMX Canada members in his name.

The list of recipients is on the BMX Canada/USA BMX website.
