All the information you need to plan, register, prepare, and ride with Devo!
Devo organizes and hosts a range of community-based, bike-oriented events every year. Join us!
Devo offers age-based, community-oriented mountain biking programs that are incredibly affordable and inclusive, and it’s all made possible by our sponsors and donors. Thank you!
Devo’s dedicated, fun-loving, professional coaches are the backbone of our programs. We’re always looking to grow the team!
From sweet merch to fresh bike jerseys, Devo’s online shops have everything you need to proudly rep Devo!
Research consistently shows that cycling in a team environment promotes positive physical- and mental health outcomes, improves self-confidence, reduces screen time and isolation, creates lasting friendships, boosts determination and grit, and more. Just as importantly, our experience consistently proves that kids learning, striving, and playing with peers from a variety of backgrounds benefits every participant involved.
In 2024, Durango Devo awarded a record 87 scholarships to families with financial eeed and gifted 64 bikes in good condition and new helmets to young riders. Altogether, we disbursed nearly $25,000 in scholarship funds!
Come ride with us! The scholarship application process is quick, easy, and online. We ask that all scholarship applications please be completed by the following dates:
Help us get more kids on bikes!
The main limitation in how many scholarships we can award is FUNDING. To donate to our scholarship fund and help us make more young riders’ dreams come true, click below!
The 2025 Scholarship Fund is made possible thanks to individual donors and the following generous sponsors:
Durango Devo scholarships are open to any area youth with a financial limitation wishing to participate in Spring or Fall 8-week sessions or Devo Summer Camps.
Devo youth programs serve riders from age 3 through high school. Scholarships are available for any age and grade level.
Minority (Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native American, or Asian) applicants and those with significant financial need are especially encouraged to apply.
As every family’s situation is unique, we do not set any hard-and-fast rules to determine eligibility. The scholarship application collects general information about household income range and includes several narrative response opportunities for applicants to support their request for scholarship.
It is our goal to award scholarships to as many qualified applicants as possible. We don’t want money to stand in the way of your child’s participation in our programs!
The application process is fully online on our website and takes about 15 minutes — maybe 10 if you’re a fast typist. We do not ask for any proof of income or other documentation, just some answers to questions that will help us understand who you are and how we can help!

Scholarship deadlines are before registration dates so that we may award recipients in time for them to sign up! Deadlines are kept up to date on our Events & Important Dates section of our website. 2024 deadlines are as follows:
Spring programs: February 16
Summer programs: April 29
Fall programs: July 22
Additional scholarships are occasionally available after the deadline on a rolling, case-by-case basis.
Each application is reviewed by Devo’s Executive Director and scholarships are awarded based on greatest financial need and timely application. We strive to award scholarships to all qualified applicants, but due to financial constraints, this is not always possible.
We do our best to review applications lightning fast. You will receive a decision, by email, sometime before registration day.
If you are a qualified applicant but are not awarded a scholarship for the current Devo session, your name will automatically be placed at the top of the list for a scholarship for the next Devo session. For example, if you aren’t awarded a scholarship during the spring, you will be automatically given preference for a scholarship during the Summer or Fall session.
Additionally, even if you aren’t awarded a scholarship, Devo may still be able to set up a payment plan.
If your application is denied and you wish to appeal, contact our Executive Director (director@durangodevo.com).
You must reapply for every season that you wish to be considered for a scholarship. Apply before the fall deadline for a fall program, before the spring deadline for a spring program, etc. The only exception is in the case above (a qualified applicant who does not receive a scholarship is automatically rolled over and placed at the top of the list for the next term).
Sometimes, yes! You may submit an application for a trip scholarship separately from your application for program registration cost.
Yes! If your child wants to ride with us but lacks essential equipment like a bike or a helmet, please indicate that need in your scholarship application and we’ll see what we can do!
Our scholarship fund is not set up to award scholarships for races, but if you wish to race and can’t afford it, talk to your coach. We will do what we can to ensure that all our aspiring racers can race!
No! Our scholarships are awarded without any consideration to whether you wish to volunteer or not. We encourage ALL Devo families — not just scholarship recipients — to be active in the Devo community, but volunteering is NOT a requirement.
Unfortunately, no. Scholarship recipients must register at the allotted time along with all other riders. For the best chance at getting into the program and time slot you are hoping for, pre-register on our website and be ready at the exact time your age group registration opens.
