Supporting running in the metro Richmond area
Scholarship
The Richmond Road Runners Club has established a scholarship
program for Richmond-area high school seniors involved in running
or related activities. RRRC is a non-profit organization dedicated
to promoting running for positive physical and mental health
benefits. This year the RRRC will award two (2) $1,000 scholarships
to students who have and will represent the beneficial aspects of
running as a healthy lifestyle. Each RRRC scholarship will be a
one-year, non-renewable award of $1,000. To be eligible, a student
must be:
1. A graduating high school senior who resides or attends school in the Richmond area;
2. Accepted at an accredited institution of higher education;
3. Involved in running in some capacity (e.g., as a cross-country or track team member, as a team manager or trainer, a member of a running or track club, or volunteer in a running activity). Scholarship applications may be filed by email or by standard mail.
To apply for a Richmond Road Runners Club scholarship award, students must submit the all of the following:
1. A completed RRRC Scholarship Application Form
2. An essay (not to exceed one page) describing how and why the applicant is involved with running and his or her planned future involvement with running. Emphasis should be on overall contribution to the sport of running, rather than individual achievement.
3. A copy of the student’s acceptance letter from a college or university
4. A letter of reference from someone involved in either high school or Richmond area running specifically addressing the applicant’s contributions to the running community.
Submit all required documentation by email to scholarship@rrrc.org or by standard mail to RRRC Scholarship Committee, c/o Chevy Newell, 3215 Forest Hill Avenue, Richmond, VA 23225.
All applications and documentation must be received on or before midnight, May 25, 2009.
All submitted documentation will become the property of the RRRC and may be used or destroyed at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee. Award selections will be made by the RRRC Scholarship Committee which is solely responsible for the award. The winning scholarship recipients will be notified no later than June 1, 2009. The award will be paid directly to the student’s college or university financial aid office.
