The African American Automotive Association (AAAA) has established the Reyana Lobban Memorial Scholarship Fund, an initiative designed to propel high school seniors toward success in the automotive industry.

The scholarship is dedicated to students interested in automotive-related fields, encompassing a wide array of disciplines, such as marketing, design, journalism and photography, within the realms of trade schools, colleges and universities.

The fund was established in memory of Reyana Lobban, a high school student who was deeply rooted in the automotive world through her work at her family's Acura Parts Depot in Miramar, Florida. Lobban actively participated in local car meets and races, including events at the nearby drag strip. She passed away in 2019 at the age of 19.

Eligible candidates can submit an essay that reflects on their automotive-related experiences and achievements, substantiated with evidence of their engagement in the automotive community. Furthermore, applicants must articulate their vision for the future of the automotive industry, highlighting the roles they wish to play and the contributions they intend to make.

Two high school seniors will be selected based on their passion for automotive culture, the clarity and feasibility of their future contributions to the industry, and the overall strength of their applications. More information will be released at a later date.
