IMSA has been offering the Diverse Driver Scholarship for several years to support drivers from different backgrounds in competing in IMSA events. The current recipient, Ken Fukuda, is participating in the 2024 Michelin Pilot Challenge. The field for the 2025-’26 scholarship has been narrowed down to nine finalists who will receive over $250,000 in benefits to assist them in the upcoming season. The scholarship provides financial aid from IMSA and its partners to help elevate diverse drivers in the racing industry. Finalists will undergo training modules on various topics such as social media, interviews, and business plans to enhance their off-track skills. The recipient of the 2025-’26 scholarship will be announced later this year, among whom are finalists like Andre Castro, Sabre Cook, Ernie Francis Jr., and Nicky Hays.
