Every year the signature event for the British Motoring Club New Orleans is the NEW ORLEANS BRITISH CAR DAY, our annual car show. This show has been held every spring for over three decades. Over a hundred British cars and motorcycles from all around the country gather. The proceeds from the Annual Car Show sponsor scholarships for automotive students Delgado Community College. To date we have given 67 – $500 scholarships or $33,500 to Delgado Community College Automotive Students.

The Scholarship Application was written and approved by the BMCNO Board of Directors in 2007. The applications were distributed to Delgado and winners announced at the  2008 January meeting. When BMCNO moved their annual Christmas Party to a reserved room, the Board of Directors voted to invite the winners with 2 guest per winner to join in the fun. Delgado instructors and their wives were also invited.

The applications are voted on by the BMCNO Board of Directors anonymously using a rubric supplied by the Scholarship Chairwoman. Their results are emailed to the Chairwoman and complied. The topic 5 are sent to Donald Davenport, Chairman of Delgado Automotive Division and all BMCNO Board members.

At the Annual BMCNO Christmas Party winners are presented with their checks and do say a few words about themselves in front of the club members. One of our winners is now happily employed at Delgado as an instructor of the Delgado Automotive Program. We are very proud of
all of our winners and hope to meet many more in the future!!!!
