The Hailwood Foundation is an IOM Reg Charity who's objective is to introduce riders to the Mountain Course.

Although we prefer to encourage riders to enter the MGP prior to the TT , the charity has on many occassions awarded The Hailwood Scholarship( which is entries for the following years MGP) to riders that have been judged to have good potential for developing a career on the Mountain circuit.

Whenever possible the Foundation assists both TT and MGP organisers and it is the riders personal choice whether they enter the TT without having ridden the Manx. Many have regretted going straight to the TT, however we have assisted many TT newcomers who have gone on to have a very successful TT career.
