New! FRWFL Race Scholarship Trial

The Board of Directors has decided to run a trial Race Scholarship Program for the remainder of 2021. The fund will be replenished by fundraising, primarily by restaurants that offer a percentage of their receipts back to FRWFL on a designated evening. So please support our first Scholarship Fundraising Dinner on July 21st below.

FRWFL wants to encourage all members to participate in designated club races regardless of financial ability.

1. Applicants must be paid members and have been so for 3 months prior to applying for a scholarship.

2. For 2021 each member may be eligible for a total of $150 in grants depending on the availability of funds.

3. For each race a member may receive a 50% grant of the early-bird registration fee.

4. Member’s should visit our Members-Only Site, complete the Scholarship Application and be asked to confirm that financial assistance would enable their participation.

5. It is suggested that members apply for scholarship funds before registering for a race, although this is not necessary. It is however required that members apply for funds for a race before the race has occurred. If approved, the member has until two weeks following the date of the race to submit the receipt.

6. Decisions will be made within seven days of submission. If approved, the member must register and pay for the full fee. It is also recommended that members make use of the FRWFL discount code when registering.

7. After paying for the race, member’s should return to the Members-Only Site within two weeks to provide proof of payment using the Proof of Payment Form. Reimbursement will be sent within 7 days.

8. Currently the Scholarship Committee is composed of the Vice-President, Treasurer & Triathlon Coordinator. The decisions of the Scholarship Committee are final.

**Although not a requirement, it is strongly encouraged that scholarship recipients wear their FRWFL Club Shirts at the race and take and post photographs in their club shirts on social media. Thanks.
