- Individual Talented Athlete Awards 2012
The 2012 Talented Athlete Award Program is now closed.
The SASI Talented Athlete Award (TAA) Program offers financial assistance to talented junior athletes to assist them to progress to the senior elite level. TAA recipients will have demonstrated through their sporting achievements, an outstanding ability to progress to the senior elite level. Athletes who have been identified by the SASI Talent Search Program or a National Talent Identification Program in their sport will also be considered. Priority will be given to athletes in Olympic and Paralympic and Commonwealth Games disciplines.
SASI Talented Athlete Awards are not available to athletes who are full scholarship holders in a SASI sports squad program or to athletes in sports where SASI conducts a squad program applicable to their age group for the full period of the TAA. This Talented Athlete Award Program has been designed to provide financial assistance towards offsetting expenses incurred in:
- the implementation of a training and competition program
- travel and accommodation not met by the club, State or National Sporting Organisation
- the purchase and maintenance of training and competition equipment
Talented Athlete Award recipients benefit from a financial grant only.
