FINANCIAL AID

For Riders or Coaches

PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND GUIDELINES

The Arkansas NICA League is committed to making our league accessible to everyone to the best of our ability, regardless of their financial situation. Financial Aid is available for student athletes as well as coaches for any programs we offer.

Due to the limited amount of financial aid, we would like to ensure that the riders or coaches who receive financial support commit to participation in on a regular basis but are not required to compete each season.

STUDENT-ATHLETES:

Financial aid is available for student league registration fees and race series fees.

Loaner Bikes are also available for student athletes that need a bike to be able to participate in NICA. Please find the more information about the NICA Bike Loaner program here.

COACHES:

Financial aid is available for Leaders’ Summit fees as well as on the bike skills and first aid training courses.

TEAMS:

Please contact Terry Coddington if you have questions about Team Registration fees.

Financial Aid:

Please complete the financial aid application if you need assistance. We will begin reviewing applications after June 1st. Please note that it takes the committee one full week to review applications. Please make sure to apply in a timely manner before season activities or practices begin. In 2024 and 2025, the Arkansas NICA League provided over $18,000 each year in scholarships.  Not all who apply may receive a full scholarship. We will base it off needs.  Please contact your team's Head Coach to see if a team level scholarship is available before applying.  The Scholarship application will open with athlete registration on April 1st 2026.  You must have a profile in pitzone to apply.  Once your scholarship application is reviewed in late June we will notify you and you may be able to complete the payment process at that time and apply the scholarship (if awarded).
