Applications for the second round of 2017 of the Athlete Pathway Travel Grants Program are now open and close on Thursday 23 February 2017. This round covers travel from 1 July 2017.
The Athlete Pathway Travel Grants Program provides grants to improve Victorian athlete development pathways from community to national representation level. Support is available to assist community sport and recreation athletes, coaches, officials and teams with the travel costs of participating in training and competition, and for high performance Victorian athletes and teams to compete at national championships or selection events.
The program has two funding categories:
Category 1: State Sporting Associations: State sporting associations, State Sporting Organisation and Peak bodies recognised by Sport and Recreation Victoria (or if no state sporting association, the relevant Australian Sports Commission recognised national sporting organisation) can apply for up to five grants per funding round on behalf of Victorian teams or individuals for travel to compete at national championships and/or an event or series of events constituting national selection trials.
· Grants of up to $6000 are available for teams with a maximum of $1000 per team member.
· Grants for individuals are available up to a maximum of $2000.
Category 2: Community Organisations: Victorian community organisations delivering sport and active recreation opportunities can apply for up to two grants per funding round of $750 each to assist athletes, coaches, officials and teams with the travel costs of training and competition over a 12 month period. For example an athlete that is regularly required to travel to train with a state team, or a regional based Athlete that is required to travel to a number of other towns in order to compete in their local competition. A maximum of two grants can be approved to any organisation in any calendar year.
If you wish to apply for Category 1 grants please contact Fencing Victoria at communications@fencingvictoria.org with a list of travel you would be doing between the 1st July 2017 and the 31st December 2017. Also include approximate costs for travel and accomodation for this application.
