History of the “Maple Valley Street Rats Car Club”

This car club has two primary goals.  The first is to promote preservation, enjoyment, restoration and or modification of 1985 and older vehicles without make or model preference.  The second goal is to provide scholarships in automotive technology to deserving students.  The Maple Valley Street Rats is a spin-off from the Tahoma High School Street Rats, also of Maple Valley, Washington.  The Tahoma High School auto shop instructor and his students established the Tahoma High School Street Rats in 1985. The name “Street Rats” came from Street Rods plus the big block Chevrolet engine nickname.
The idea for the Maple Valley Street Rats started in an effort to offer financial scholarships to assist deserving students going to automotive schools after high school.  From 1999 to 2017 the Maple Valley Street Rats has awarded more the $57,000.00 for students to attend a variety of automotive schools.

The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage and financially assist students to further their education in the automotive industry.  Scholarships are awarded annually.  A recipient may reapply for a second scholarship after successfully completing their first year of automotive studies with at least a 2.5 GPA.  The scholarship amounts vary from year to year based on the number of applications received, the quality of the written application, the in-person interview and the total amount the general membership wants to distribute each year.  Eligibility requirements are that the applicant is a high school graduate or has a GED and has a desire to study in automotive industry.
