Cycling Time Trials Scholarship was established in January 2006  with support from Yellow Ltd/Rudy Project.

The idea of the Scholarship is to enable a small number of riders to be based in Europe and sample Continental Racing.

The first beneficiary of the scholarship was James Millard (twice former winner of the Espoir category of the RTTC-Rudy Project Time Trial Series). James was based in Belgium for most of the 2006 season and submitted regular updates about how he was getting on.

The Scholarship also gave a limited amount of support in 2006 to both Levi Huck & Daniel Davies

In 2007 James Stewart, Simon Baxter, Alistair Robinson & Mark Holt spent some time  in Belgium as recipients of Scholarship funding.

In 2008 Alistair Robinson will be based in Belgium for May, June, July & August. Simon, Dean, Vicky & Becky will be joining him for August.

Who is eligible to apply for the Scholarship?
In order to be eligible riders would generally be expected to:-
• be under 25 on the 1st January in the year that they want to race on the continent.
• be good all-rounders (road racing and time trialling).
• show prominently in the RTTC-Rudy Project Time Trial Series.

The scholarship is open to riders of either sex.

How is the Scholarship Funded?
It is hoped that eventually the Scholarship will be self financing.
Over £1,000 was raised at Champions Night in 2006 from the sale of Rudy Project Key Fobs and over £1,200 was raised in 2007 by raffling a Pinarello Bicycle. In 2008 over £1,100 was once again raised by raffling a Pinarello Bicycle.
The Scholarship receives donations and Rudy Project Key Fobs (priced £5) in support of the cause are available for sale through the on-line shop, at National Championships and at Rudy Project events. These key fobs have been donated, the entire £5 from the sale of each one goes to the Scholarship.
