Roads Scholars ®
The goal of this program is to assist American post-collegiate runners who show great promise to develop into national and world-class distance running athletes.
Since 1996, the Road Runners Club of America has awarded over $360,000 in grants through its Roads Scholar program to assist American post-collegiate road runners who show great promise to develop into national and world class road running athletes.
Grants in the amount of $5,000.00 per year have been awarded to four to six athletes annually since the program’s inception. The driving factor in the creation of this program was the goal of improving the state of long distance running in the United States.
The program is directed towards runners who:
- Are US citizens
- Have graduated from college (or whose class has graduated)
- Plan to pursue elite distance running as a career
- Expect to earn less than $30,000 from all sources during the calendar year
The RRCA is now accepting applications for our 2011–2012 Roads Scholar Class. The deadline for applying is April 30, 2011.
