Trek Pathfinder Scholarships Open

In February 2021, Trek introduced the Pathfinders Scholarship to bring greater diversity, equity, and inclusion to youth mountain biking by providing bikes, gear, and resources to overcome historical to the sport.

Since then, NICA has received almost 1,000 individual applications from student athletes representing 97 teams from over 26 states, and after an intense review process, we awarded 500 of those applicants with Pathfinder Scholarships.

No bench. No tryouts. Everybody rides!
