The RDC Foundation Announces 2024 Ryder Colvin Scholarship Awards
Online Raffle Currently Active
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (February 15, 2024) – The RDC Foundation is happy to announce the 2024 Ryder Colvin Scholarship Awards, and online raffle that is currently active at www.rdcracing.com.
Ryder Colvin was born on December 12, 2003, and sadly passed away on February 9, 2023, while training for LLQ. The RDC Foundation was created by Ryder’s family along with Grindstone Compound and FMF to form The Ryder Colvin Scholarship Awards. They wanted to help create a way to take financial burden off some amateur racers that have the opportunity to race at the National Event on Loretta Lynn’s Ranch.

The online raffle consists of seven different possible prizes including a Honda CRF 110 pit bike, a STACYC 16e balance bike, one week of training at Grindstone Compound, one week of training at Farm 14 with Kevin Windham and Kyle Swanson, a FMF surprise pack, Tagger Designs custom painted helmet and a Marriott Vacations Worldwide 4 day/3-night certificate.
Tickets are just $20, and all proceeds will be distributed to The Ryder Colvin Loretta Lynn Scholarship Award(s) for the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship. The drawing for all prizes will be held the last week of June 2024, purchase your raffle tickets today HERE.
The Ryder Colvin Scholarship application will open starting on May 27, 2024. The deadline to submit your application will be June 28, 2024, as scholarships will be awarded the first two weeks of July 2024. In 2023 almost $7,500 was awarded to three riders to help them in their efforts to making it down to Hurricane Mills, Tennessee for the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship.
Qualifications for the scholarship are that you must finish in a qualifying position in your Regional Championship for LLMX, and that you must be registered to race and attend the National event . For more information, follow the link to rdcracing.com/scholarship.
