The State Government is encouraging Victoria’s rising sports stars to apply for travel grants to help them take their skills to the next level.
Minister for Sport John Eren has announced applications have opened for the State Government’s 2018/19 Athlete Pathway Travel Grant Program.
The program helps aspiring Victorian athletes, teams, coaches and officials realise their sporting potential through grants that remove the barrier of travel and accommodation costs.
There are two categories of grants:
- State sporting associations can apply for grants of up to $6,000 for teams or up to $2,000 for individuals to travel to compete at national championships or trials.
- community sport and recreation organisations can apply for grants of up to $750 to help with travel and accommodation costs related to competition or training for athletes, teams, coaches and officials.
