Background: In the summer of 2005, Ryan Edwards had the ambition of creating a scholarship program to support athletes of the Mesa State Cycling Team. He and the coaching staff of the team approached Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates, P.C., of Grand Junction, CO which became the sole supporter of the program and generously provided all the necessary funding. Ryan worked to create such a fund with the hope that it would help students offset the high cost of education, allow students further financial freedom while training and racing, and to raise awareness of Mesa State College Cycling and collegiate cycling in general. Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates (RMOA) is committed to providing superior care for patients with bone, joint and muscular injuries and agreed to participate because these scholarship funds promote excellence in educational and athletic goals.
