Bill's Beer Run 5 Miler

The scholarships are open to all local area student runners (both track and cross country); students must live in Sarasota County to apply. The application is available online and through their school’s guidance counselors and athletic coaches. Students must complete the application, adhere to the criteria in the application and submit their materials in the spring. The MTC Scholarship Committee reviews each application and makes selections for the scholarship awards in April of each year.
