BIPOC SCHOLARSHIPS
Presented by RIDE WITH GPS
Understanding that systematic racism and other injustices have created more significant barriers to outdoor recreation among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, Ruta del Jefe seeks to increase access and reduce barriers to participation for up to ten participants who identify as BIPOC.
Scholarship recipients will receive complimentary registration (including camping and food), and a small travel stipend. They will not be required to participate in the fundraiser or pay the donation portion of the event.
If you identify as BIPOC and feel that this scholarship would help you gain community and a meaningful experience, please fill out this scholarship form by November 16.
Applications were due by November 16, 2023, at 11:00 pm MST. All applicants will be notified whether they did or did not receive a scholarship by November 18.
