The San Francisco Track & Field Club Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the Club will award athletic scholarships in 2013 for those competing in the World OutGames in Antwerp, Belgium and the National Senior Games in Cleveland.

- Athletes need to have volunteered in either 2012 or 2013 in at least two fundraising events.
- Athletes must complete the application form
- Write a short application essay about how the scholarship will benefit you, and explain what your plans are for competing in the games and supporting the Club.

- SFT&FC reserves the right to change the scholarship amount. Applicant must return the full scholarship amount in case of cancellation of competition.
- Athletes must regularly attend Sunday team practices.
- Deadline for submission is May 31, 2013.
