The Purdue Grand Prix originated from humble beginnings, sparked by a visionary dream and fueled by the fervor of a handful of dedicated students engaged in late-night discussions.

They aspired to establish a platform where engineering students at Purdue University could showcase their expertise, creativity, and passion.

As the concept evolved into reality, the Grand Prix transformed into a highly organized and thriving entity, channeling its resources toward meaningful fundraising endeavors aimed at supporting student scholarships.

Rooted in its fundamental ethos of “students helping students,” the Grand Prix Foundation remains committed to nurturing the academic pursuits and aspirations of the Purdue community.

Over the years, the Purdue Grand Prix has not only become a hallmark event on campus but also a testament to the collaborative spirit and ingenuity of the student body.

Through its initiatives and events, the organization continues to foster a culture of academic excellence, camaraderie, and philanthropy.

As it advances toward the future, the Grand Prix remains steadfast in its mission to empower students, uphold its tradition of innovation, and leave a lasting impact on the Purdue community and beyond.
