From press release

Team Canada Scholarship announced the first four finalists, drivers who will be competing for one of the two seats available for this year's program.

The two drivers who will be selected to represent Canada at this year's Formula Ford Festival in the U.K. will come from the two levels of junior open-wheel racing.

The first selected group have been chosen from the US Formula 2000 series and the second group of finalists will be chosen from the Formula 1600 level, specifically, the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship and the Formula Tour 1600 Series.

The four drivers selected as finalists are: Garrett Grist, Scott Hargrove, Jesse Lazare, and Stefan Rzadzinski. Remarkably, all four drivers currently sit in the top six in points and all have made the podium at one point during the opening five rounds.

The Team Canada Scholarship enters their third year and is thankful for the support of sponsors and donations that help to fund the program.

The selection of the finalists from the F1600 category will be made in the coming weeks. The focus right now will be on the USF2000 drivers at the upcoming Honda Indy Car event on the streets of Toronto this weekend.
