Mountain Sports Athletic Tuition Scholarship

The Mountain Sports Trail Running Scholarship has been established by Josh Eberly (’03), to provide scholarship assistance to Western Colorado University students. Josh graduated from Western Colorado University with a degree in Design and is the current coach of Western’s Mountain Sports Trail Running Team.
The Western Colorado University Mountain Sports Trail Running Scholarship, proudly sponsored by Run Sleep Design, is dedicated to supporting the next generation of collegiate trail runners. This scholarship exists to provide meaningful opportunities for student-athletes to grow, compete, and mature during a transformative phase of their running careers.
“As a former athlete who benefitted deeply from the support of a dedicated coach, a loving family, and inspiring teammates, I understand the lifelong impact that a strong collegiate trail running experience can have. This scholarship is my way of giving back to the sport and the community that shaped me.
Through this contribution, I hope to empower passionate and hardworking athletes to chase their goals, embrace the mountains, and experience the same sense of purpose, connection, and growth that trail running has brought to my life.” – Josh Eberly
