CJ Pony Parts is proud to offer two scholarships each year, each worth $500, to students who are enrolling in post-secondary education in their next semester.
Who’s eligible?
Any current student who is a U.S. resident and will be enrolling in post-secondary education in their next semester is eligible for this scholarship. This is open to all fields of study and is not exclusive to automotive or related degrees. See Other Rules and Regulations for more.
How to Apply
Create a short video, under 3 minutes long, on one of these topics:
What is your first memory of a Mustang?
How does a Mustang relate to your field of study? (get creative!)
With the recent development of autonomous/self-driving vehicles, how do you see that changing the automotive industry?
CJ Pony Parts has been around for over 30 years; where do you see yourself 30 years from now?
As Lee Iacocca was the lead influencer for the debut of the Ford Mustang in April 1964, who is most influential in your life and why?
You can be inspirational, funny, serious, educational, or even musical! Winners will be selected based on creativity and content rather than video editing skill or how many views the video gets. Submitted videos must be your own work.
Upload your video to YouTube and then email the link to [email protected] before midnight EST on the appropriate deadline below.
You can check out some of the past scholarship winners in CJ's Resource Center.

Why?
Founded in 1985, CJ Pony Parts is one of the nation’s largest Mustang parts retailers. We strive to give back to the community any way we can. Last year we donated $30,000 to the Four Diamonds Fund to battle childhood cancer. We value continued education and want to make sure that students can afford to go to the college or university of their choice. We believe that YOU are the future and can do great things for the world.
Other Rules and Regulations
One video per student, per semester. Each scholarship is non-renewable. Scholarships will be awarded on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis. CJ Pony Parts reserves the right to use your submitted videos on their website and in any other online marketing, regardless of if it has won the scholarship or not. Winners will be notified by the email address in which they submitted their videos. Students must show proof of enrollment to receive scholarship payment. Payment will be made directly to the school unless school procedures state otherwise. Payment must be used for tuition and must be used during the next upcoming semester. Payment must be used by the student who submitted the video and cannot be transferred to anyone else. Student’s future school must be located in the United States of America.
