Scholarships

Fox Factory Trail Trust to Award Scholarships for Lost and Found

I’m incredibly grateful that this scholarship exists to help diversify cycling, especially gravel cycling. As a kid, a bike to me was a way to get around my neighborhood and connect with my community. Until recently, I had never envisioned it to be a means to explore mountain trails, alpine lakes, and so much more. Diversifying cycling is critical to breaking down barriers that have kept marginalized groups out of a sport that has so much to offer. It also allows for new perspectives that can only make cycling better and more accessible for all people. — Thien Chau of Oakland, CA

Winning a Trail Trust and Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship Scholarship feels very humbling and exciting. It means a great deal to me, as a queer woman, to be supported and seen by the bike industry. I think it is important that we continue to diversify the cycling industry so that we can take this amazing sport, hobby, form of transport, etc., and make it more accessible and palatable to those who might not see themselves represented. — Clara Nilsen of Reno, NV

Massive thank you to our longtime sponsor Fox and its Trail Trust foundation for their commitment to diversifying cycling by helping to bring more folks from underrepresented communities into gravel racing.

 

The Lost & Found Mike Shaw Memorial Scholarship

To honor the passing of Mike Shaw in 2018, the SBTS is offering a scholarship entry for a young rider to participate in the challenging longest course of the Lost and Found gravel grinder.  The scholarship will be awarded based on the following criteria created in collaboration with his widow;

• Must be under the age of 23 years old.
• Submit a short essay (<350 words) or video: ‘What have you done to encourage multi-use trails and trail access in your region?’
• Be physically fit and prepared for a challenging gravel ride in a remote location.

Entries must be submitted by May 10th. The winner will be decided based on content and writing style, and announced on May 20.

We look forward to hearing what you’ve all been doing to support youth riding in your local communities and beyond!!
