2025 Event Scholarships

The window for application for 2025 Cycle Oregon event scholarships is now open.

The Cycle Oregon mission is simple- to bring the joy of riding a bicycle to all of Oregon. Access to bikes and riding, however, isn’t always so simple for many people. With support from the Cycle Oregon Foundation, we are able to provide financial scholarships to qualified individuals to attend our events on partial or full-paid scholarships. 

Through this program we aim to reduce or remove the financial barrier that may hinder cycling participation from underrepresented communities. The application closes on Friday, May 2, 2025 at 11:59 PM (PST); submissions after this deadline will not be processed for review.

Donate to the Cycle Oregon Foundation and become a member of our Community of Giving (COG). Your contribution aids in making the joy of riding accessible to more Oregonians through programs such as our scholarships and COG members receive fun perks at events all year long. There’s joy in riding for everyone; thank you for helping keep our mission rolling.


“Unfortunately cost can get in the way of experiencing the joy of riding a bicycle.  And that’s just not fair, because biking is so much fun everyone should get to do it.  That’s why I’m really excited about our event scholarship program.  By eliminating the cost barrier, more people will be able to join our multi day events.”

A scholarship journey

With support from the Cycle Oregon Foundation, scholarship riders turn the pedals at Cycle Oregon events each year. In a new post on our blog we interview Alexa Morris about how the Cycle Oregon Foundation and partners powered her journey to Joyride.

“I’m so grateful I could attend Joyride and hope I can pay it forward to someone else, or maybe even this Q&A would encourage someone to give Joyride a chance — I’m glad I did!”
