Starting Line Scholarship

Please fill out the information as truthfully as possible to be considered for a Still I Run Starting Line Scholarship. All information you share with us will remain private and will only be used for consideration purposes.
Before You Begin

This scholarship is meant for individuals who have never started a running routine, are just in the beginning stages of running, are looking to get back into running after a period of time off, or don't regularly run. While we will still consider applications from individuals who have been regularly running for years, or have completed a number of races, please know we will give preference to those that are just starting out. Additionally, the goal of this scholarship is to help people use running for mental health purposes. When filling out the application and answering our questions, please focus on how this program will help you mentally, more than it would physically. Also, please take your time filling out this application. The thought and effort put into your application is something we take into account.
