The Wal Smith Cycling Foundation offers scholarships annually to support young people in the South West of Victoria and the South East of South Australia to assist in their sporting or educational pursuits.
The scholarships are a cash grant and can be used in whatever way the recipient desires.
Whilst the focus is on cycling, scholarships may also be granted to young people to assist in furthering their general education.
