Dalton Nichols ’ Scholarship
Dalton Nichols was killed in a failure to yield collision on December 03, 2021. Dalton loved the freedom and peace of riding. This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Dalton Nichols by supporting one student with the knowledge and training to complete and receive their motorcycle endorsements through the MSF Basic Rider Course.
The Basic Rider Course is a research-based and action-oriented core curriculum designed to teach beginning motorcyclists of all ages the physical and mental skills necessary to ride safely on the street. The course includes basic motorcycle operation, maximum effective braking techniques, turning skills, obstacle avoidance maneuvers, classroom instruction and ten hours of “on cycle” training. Rider Coaches for the program are all experienced motorcycle operators whoare nationally certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).

Motorcycles are provided for your use during the course. A course completion card is provided to each student. The completion card could provide a discount on motorcycle insurance with many providers, retailers, and online sites that may offer you discounts or free shipping just by mentioning you are a MSF graduate. Lastly, we conduct the SC motorcycle rider’s skill test at the end of class. Successful riders earn their SC motorcycle license endorsement.
This 2-Day-Learn to Ride Course W/License Waiver ($299 value) will take place at 185 Simuel Road Spartanburg, SC.
Any student aged 18 and above may apply by writing a 1000 word or less essay on the topic of distracted driving in South Carolina; and what you feel needs to change to prevent future fatalities due to a failure to yield.
