Scholarships
Bicycling scholarships are virtually unheard of in this country. Thus, in order to provide year-round participants with increased access to educational opportunities, we identify individual donors to direct their gift to the college-bound student. This provides team members with several outcomes even before post-high-school education is undertaken. They have an increased sense of hope, greater achievement motivation, and they are inspired to take responsibility for their grades and lives.
