Scholarship 2010

Written by LVTC Events

Scholarship Application Deadline Approaches: 30 Days and Counting To all you high school seniors who are members of the Las Vegas Track Club, just a reminder: the deadline for getting those scholarship applications in is April 7, 2010. And they must be in our hands by that date, so don't wait too long. Give yourself a margin of error. Be sure to get an official transcript from your school registrar, which includes all your course work up to and including the first semester of your just-completed senior year. Also don't forget to include two letters of recommendation—not three or four or one, TWO—one of which must be from a school official (teacher, coach, counselor, administrator). Neither of them can be from someone related to you. Also, please don't go to the trouble of including photos, certificates of achievement, or extra goodies. They will just be discarded (as will those extra letters of recommendation) before the seven-person selection committee—of which I am not one—gets your application packet. The application is quite specific about what is needed and how to package it. You can get all that from the "Scholarship" link on the left side of the front page of the LVTC website. I look forward to getting many applications between now and April 7th. The selection committee is ready to go over the applications and make their recommendations. The voting members of the Executive Board of the Las Vegas Track Club will make the final selections, and the results will be announced sometime in May. The actual presentations will be made, per usual, at the Banquet in June. Good luck to all. But you cannot win if you don't apply. One final incentive: It seems pretty certain that the overall distribution of cash this year will be somewhere in the vicinity of $10,000 as it has been the past two years. Don’t let this opportunity slip away. - Phil Lawton, Scholarship Chair

About Our Running Club

The Las Vegas Track Club is an all-volunteer, non-profit running organization that was incorporated in the state of Nevada in April, 1969. We are walkers, joggers and runners who have embraced walking, jogging and running as a lifetime fitness activity. Our mission is to support youth running in southern Nevada, and we do that by making very generous donations to youth running teams, high school cross country and track teams, and by giving scholarships to worthy graduating high school seniors.

We work very closely with all of the local charities who stage walking, jogging and running events, and we put on our own running events when there is nothing else on the weekend calendar. We have nearly 1,000 members from 23 states, and we are always delighted to have new friends to walk, jog and run with.

Our website has an extensive race calendar which features all local races and running events. If you want to race a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra distance or track event it will be listed on the LVTC race schedule. The calendar also has a large list of local training runs. The local running links page has a links to local running clubs, bike and triathlon clubs, places to run, local government recreation, speciality running stores, race timing, and running companies. If you are interested in running a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra distance, track event or training run please check out running calendar.

LVTC events are open to all runners; sign up starts about a half hour before the race. The race fee is $3 for members, $5 for non-members. Students 19 and under receive a $1 discount. Almost all races are separated into sex and age categories, with ribbons awarded to the top five finishers in each division. In an effort to encourage young runners to join us, the LVTC does not charge for runners 10 years of age or younger.
