Annual Automotive Scholarship Contest
The Weber State University Automotive Contest is an annual contest for high school automotive students. Top scoring automotive high school seniors from Utah and the surrounding states come to compete for scholarships, tools, and a vehicle for their school. The contest was started in 1987 as a recruiting tool for the WSU Automotive Technology Program.
The contest has two parts: a written test and a skills/hands-on portion.
Part 1
Qualifying Round: Written Exam
The written test will consist of 50 multiple choice questions that are based on the NATEF MLR tasks. All 8 ASE areas will be represented at the NATEF MLR level. The contest takes approximately 3 hours. There is an awards ceremony afterwards where the top 12 schools will be invited to return to the hands-on competition.
