Women’s Sports Foundation Invites Applications for Travel and Training Fund
Deadline: November 12, 2010

The Women’s Sports Foundation’s Travel & Training Fund provides direct financial assistance to aspiring athletes with successful competitive records who have the potential to achieve even higher performance levels and rankings.

The goal of the fund is to provide direct financial assistance to aspiring female athletes who are U.S. citizens or legal residents. Requests for assistance are considered for coaching, specialized training, equipment, attire, and/or travel and will be based, in part, on need.

An individual may request up to $5,000 and a team up to $10,000.

Individual applicants and all members of a team must be female U.S. citizens or legal residents of the U.S. and be eligible to compete for a U.S. national team; have amateur status; demonstrate the ability, based on competitive record and years in training, to reach and compete at an elite level; compete regionally (outside their state), nationally, and/or internationally and/or be ranked by a national governing body; have a successful competitive record within their sport and/or age group; and not be a high school, college, university, or community recreation sports team.

Funding requests will not be considered for high school, college, university sports (intercollegiate or club), or community recreation sports teams. Any athlete who is a member of a team already applying for a team grant may not also apply for an individual grant in the same grant period.

Complete program guidelines and application procedures are available at the Women’s Sports Foundation Web site.
