Cross State Trail Ride Educational Assistance
Applications for assistance must be mailed or electronically submitted between Sept 1st and 30th
Education Assistance is available to CSTR members. The assistance program is funded with proceeds from our open pleasure ride held in June each year. We are now offering education assistance to all junior family members, whether or not they have participated in a CSTR ride, as long as they carry a full course load. Assistance will also be offered to adult CSTR members who are furthering their education and following an accredited course.
Electronic applications available at https://forms.gle/TzkYnm47VVxZXnyq9
