Rich Vogler Memorial Scholarship Foundation

Avon, Indiana

Cause Description:
Anyone familiar with racing knows the Rich Vogler legend. No race driver before or after could match his prowess on the race track. Tragically, Vogler was killed in a racing accident in the prime of his racing career. Richard's wife Emily, mother Eleanor, and sister Dale Ann Vogler wanted to honor his memory in a special way. Although he was a racing superstar, Rich always had problems with school. As a father, his sons' education was of paramount importance. So, a scholarship fund seemed the idea he would have most appreciated. The Rich Vogler Scholarship Fund was begun in 1990 with a generous $11,000 contribution from Valvoline, arranged by Jim Reynolds and USAC's Bill Marvel. Scholarship Purpose The Foundation's vision is to encourage members of the racing community to further their education. Scholarships of $1,000. each are awarded to several candidates each year based on applications received. Funds may be used for any type of education from university to vocational training, or for special needs education. Scholarships are awarded to individuals throughout the United States. The Foundation's goal is to create a fund which is perpetual and self- supporting.
