CMAF Automotive Scholarship Honoring the Legacy of Chip Miller
It’s been many years since Chip Miller (co-founder of Carlisle Events) passed away due to Amyloidosis. In the years since his passing in 2004, his namesake foundation has worked tirelessly to award thousands of dollars to those in need and organizations specializing in Amyloidosis research and care. The Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation also created an automotive-focused scholarship to further his legacy. The scholarship is designed to support the next generation of students who share Chip’s love of all things automotive. It is open to high school, undergraduate, graduate, or trade school students pursuing a career in the automotive field.
