BESPOKED and SRAM have opened the Inclusivity Scholarship for the fourth year, created to support framebuilders across the UK and Europe with the aim of creating more opportunities within cycling and framebuilding.
The scholarship exists to help people who feel they do not currently see themselves represented fairly within cycling to share their work, exhibit internationally, and become part of the wider handmade cycling community.
Scholarship recipients will exhibit at BESPOKED Dresden 11-13 September and receive funded exhibition space, mentoring support ahead of the show, promotional opportunities, and component support from SRAM.
There is intentionally no strict definition of who this scholarship is for. If you’ve ever questioned whether there’s space for your work, your story or your route into cycling within the wider industry, we’d encourage you to apply.
Recipients of the BESPOKED x SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship will receive:
- Exhibition space and staging at BESPOKED Dresden 2026
- SRAM components to support the creation of a show build
- Financial support toward accommodation costs
- Dedicated promotional coverage across BESPOKED and SRAM channels to help tell recipients’ stories and showcase their work
- Support and mentorship from experienced industry professionals in the lead-up to the event
Applications open: Monday, 1st June
Applications close: Thursday, 25th June
Successful applicants will be notified on Wednesday, 1st July
Find out more about the scholarship on the Bespoked website.
