NSWOC Athlete Grant Program
The New South Wales Olympic Council (NSWOC) is pleased to announce the introduction of a new Athlete Grant Program. The NSWOC Council will distribute five $1,000 cash grants to ‘up and coming’ junior NSW athletes in 2014.
The focus of this program is to provide increased opportunities and assist with the funding for the development of young, ‘up and coming’ NSW athletes. The program has been created to reach athletes outside of the NSWIS scholarship program and those that are not already receiving significant support from their State, National Sporting Bodies or third parties.
