Act On Your Dream -- Apply for Support from iDream Athletes Foundation!

You deserve a chance to take your shot and dream big! iDream exists to remove cost barriers so you can chase your goals full throttle without worrying about the financial burden.

We welcome your application for an iDream Athlete Scholarship!

Entering the sport of cycling, running or multi-sport can be costly and intimidating. Removing the cost barrier for aspiring athletes who are interested in training for or participating in a running, cycling or multi-sport event is key to growing our WNC sports community. Through the iDream Athletes Foundation, we are able to provide an approachable and comfortable setting for a kid on a youth cycling team or for the aspiring adult athlete to gain exposure, experience, and training in either running, cycling, or swimming. We want to help them grow as an individual and athlete through training and events. This allows us to support and encourage healthy, active lifestyles in our community members. Healthy individuals create healthy communities!

Completing this Scholarship Application for Support to become an iDream Athletes athlete:

**We will consider many factors when evaluating eligibility for and granting financial support and will notify you within two (2) weeks of your submission of this application of the status of your application (granted/denied/pending/need more information/interview needed/etc.)
**Applications for financial support for youth must be completed by the youth's parent or guardian.

**Please apply for financial support at least one (1) month ahead of when you need the financial support.
