Your athlete is applying to the Kauri Club for a Scholarship Grant of up to $2,000. Each athlete who wishes to apply must fill out an application form and have their coach complete the following information to support their application.
What Are the Scholarships For?
The scholarships are aimed at high-performing young athletes to assist them over a year with furthering their development as an athlete. The scholarship money is to be primarily utilised by the athlete to invest back into their learning and development with the aim of the athlete growing and applying their learning to their sport and throughout life.
Development services/support could be, for example, a physical trainer (gym/movement), additional coaching support, nutritional support, mental and athlete life support, development camps etc. Investment in these areas would make up the majority of how the funding is utilised - 75% and the remainder can then be used to support the athlete for other things such as travel, competition fees, gear etc. Each athlete will also be provided support and follow-up to help them optimize their funding in the development and support services by the Athlete Support Advisor.
