Highland Velodrome Trust

STARS Bursary Awards

PURPOSE        HiVelo supports the development of promising young cyclists in the North of Scotland.  A £250 STARS bursary will be awarded to a rider that the Trustees consider has demonstrated outstanding performance or potential in cycling competition. An award will be made 3 times each year.

CRITERIA         The award is open to any rider with BC membership, aged 14-17 from any cycling discipline.  Nominations can be made to HiVelo by any individual, North-based club or association, subject to appropriate parental consent being in place.  A summary of their recent performances and key cycling objectives for the next two years should also be supplied.  Riders must declare the source and value of any existing sponsorship arrangements that are in place. The Trustees selection at any stage will be final, but unsuccessful applications will be carried over for consideration in the following bursary round.

USES                STARS awards are intended to help the recipient meet essential expenses in progressing towards the next level.  For example, they can help defray race meet travel/ accommodation, sports clothing, cycle equipment or specialist coaching support.  Proof of expenditure in the form of receipts or mileage logs will be required prior to the release of funding.

TIMING           Applicants will be sent a form which will invite them to outline their current situation and aspirations.
