Highland Velodrome Trust

          Partnering with 

STARS Bursary Awards

PURPOSE        HiVelo supports the development of promising young cyclists in the North of Scotland.  A £250 STARS bursary has been awarded every quarter since July 2016 to one rider that the Trustees consider has demonstrated outstanding performance or potential in cycling competition.  Scottish Cycling North has since agreed to partner these awards and raise the bursary value to £500.

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 North-based club or association, subject to appropriate parental consent being in place.  A summary of their palmares 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/SCN selection in any quarter 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           Nominations should be submitted not later than March, June, September, and December each year.
