WMCCL Bursary
The WMCCL endeavors to provide financial support to a selection of its younger members each year. Our aim this year is to provide promising riders, who have regularly ridden the League, with funding to help them develop as cyclocross riders by riding internationally. We are now inviting applications for support during the 2025/26 season. Applications for this must be submitted by 16th November 2025.
Funding
The total amount available each year is divided between successful applicants according to the Criteria below and as deemed appropriate by the WMCCL Committee.
Criteria
To qualify, riders must:
– be in the Youth A (Under-16), Junior (Under-18), or Under-23 category for the current season;
– have started at least eight WMCCL races in total over the previous and current season;
– have a clear plan of races abroad that they intend to ride, and
– be willing to provide written feedback to the League on their experience during the supported trip.
Process
Written requests for support (submissions) should be made using the form below.
We prefer Submissions to be made by the riders themselves. They should include:
– a summary of their best results in the WMCCL in the previous and current season;
– the list of races at an international level that are intended to be ridden;
– the funding required to do those races – e.g. entry fees, travel costs, accommodation – with estimated costs, and
– the rider’s aims and objectives for those races – e.g. finishes or placings.
The WMCCL Committee will consider submissions and make a decision on awards by 20th November. It reserves the right not to allocate all (or any) of the funding available, and to divide the money as it sees fit. The Committee’s decision is final and there is no right of appeal.
