Hot Rods at the Beach and the Santa Cruz Police Officers Association proudly present our 26th annual Hot Rods at the Beach car show.
The proceeds from the show are donated to a scholarship fund that benefits Santa Cruz County High School students. Seniors who have completed the Automotive Service Technology Program through the Santa Cruz County Career Technical Education Program at Santa Cruz High School are eligible to apply for a scholarship. An application must be submitted, including the student’s high school transcript and a letter of recommendation.
The applications are reviewed, and $2000 scholarships are awarded in May or June at the student’s high school’s awards ceremony.
A continuation scholarship of $1,500 may be awarded to a student who qualifies for the following year. Hot Rods at the Beach and the SCPOA is proud to help industrial arts students further their education.
