Scholarships
Excellence in sport. It is what sets AIS staff and facilities apart. It is what attracts international attention and envy. It is what inspires today's AIS scholarship holders to become tomorrow's world-champions.
For more than two decades, the AIS has been the nation's sports training powerhouse; nurturing and supporting athletes who have gone on to become Olympic and Paralympic medalists, world champion aerial skiers, cricketers and netball players, NBA basketball players, English Premier Soccer League starters, Grand Slam tennis players, among others.
This is no coincidence.When you have world-class coaches, sports scientists, sports medicine practitioners, counsellors and administrators pushing the boundaries in their own fields to help athletes perform better, the results soon follow.
Scholarship holders are at the heart of the AIS. Our expert coaching, state-of-the-art facilities, world-leading sports science and sports medicine, purpose-built subsidised accommodation, and opportunities for travel, study and work, are factors that attract athletes from all over Australia to our programs.
When they join the AIS, scholarship holders become part of a unique community of people, each with a diverse range of sporting and life experiences, and who has made a singular commitment to their sport.
Being part of this community means our athletes form life-long friendships, learn new skills, enjoy and celebrate the successes of their peers, and give of themselves in the pursuit of excellence. Some have called it the single most fulfilling experience of their lives.
