Prime Minister’s Athlete Scholarships 2010

by Jodie Bakewell-White

SPARC is now calling for applications for Prime Minister’s Scholarships for 2010. Online applications for yachting close on November 20th.

Applications can be made via the high performance sport section of SPARC’s website at www.sparc.org.nz. A sample application is available on the SPARC website currently to aid applicants in compiling the appropriate information.

Yachting New Zealand requires that applicants submit a four year plan to accompany their application. To be eligible it is expected that applicants are currently committed to competing at a high standard at international competition in Olympic, Paralympics or International Youth Classes and have an intention to compete at either the 2012 or 1016 Olympics or Paralympics in the sport of sailing.

Members of Yachting New Zealand Squads and Teams (Olympic Squad, Olympic Development Squad, Talent Development Squad, NZL Yachting Trust Youth Team, and YNZ National Youth Squad, Paralympics Talent Development Squad), carded sailors, and previous scholarship recipients are encouraged to discuss their application with Yachting New Zealand’s Athlete Life Adviser before making application.
