Scholarship Program Guidelines

The Mystic Runners Club's mission includes a commitment to support and encourage the sport of running, and to improve the physical and mental health,  and social well-being of its members.  In addition, It seeks to contribute to the welfare of the local community and to excel as a community organization.
To that end, we have established a Scholarship program.  This program is intended to benefit the running community by supporting three (3) local athletes who demonstrate excellence in both running and academics.
We invite graduating seniors in our community to apply for a one-time award of $1,000.00 using the attached application form with the accompanying rules and guidelines. 

 PLEASE NOTE: 2023 REQUIRED FILING DEADLINE:  April 15th:  last postmark date for submission


The successful scholarship candidate shall demonstrate quality academic performance shown through a combination of grades, level of difficulty of curriculum;  be a proven leader in the candidate’s school or peer group; demonstrate sincere commitment to some form of community service or helping others; and show that the candidate has maximized his/her running potential.
Applications will be evaluated and judgments awarded by a panel of Mystic Runner Committee Members.

President's Message    May 12, 2019

There was a lot of work done to get this program underway and to see this through to our first award presentation. First, I want to personally THANK our committee members for the work that has taken place during the preparation, roll-out and selection process. Secondly, I want to THANK our members for all their hard work, that which takes place at our annual race as funding for this program began with the 2016 Mystic Classic. And finally, it is our hope to grow this program in the years to come through our annual race and perhaps other opportunities. This is certainly an exciting time for our club. Congratulations to both Ben and Annalisa!!
