The Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship & Mentoring Program is a unique and valuable program for young Australian athletes.
Applications are now open for the 2020 Program – closing Sunday 7th July 2019.
Since 2006, the Program has provided over $350,000 in $5,000 annual sporting grants to 73 young Australian athletes across 34 sports.
The Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship & Mentoring Program consists of:
* One-on-one personal mentoring by an Inducted SAHOF Member
* A $5,000 sporting expenses grant
* On stage presentation of the Scholarship at the SAHOF Induction & Awards Gala Dinner
The highlight of the program is that each Scholarship Holder is personally mentored by a Member of The Sport Australia Hall of Fame. Mentors have included over 50 Australian sporting greats including; Dawn Fraser AC MBE, Louise Sauvage OAM, Adam Gilchrist AM, Karla Gilbert OAM, Catherine Freeman OAM and Nick Farr-Jones AM.
The mentoring aspect is a 'money can’t buy' opportunity. It has delivered in many cases, a profound impact on our past and present Scholarship Holders.
Note: the mentoring role is designed to bring in a worldly view of what it takes to compete at the highest level.
