Individuals
There are a number of opportunities for funding for individuals available through the ASC, including:
-
Through the Australian Institute of Sport, the ASC offers athlete scholarships across 35 sport programs in 26 sports administered from various centres around Australia.

The ASC currently administers the Australian Government Sport Training Grant (AGSTG). This is an Australian Government initiative to provide direct funds to targeted elite athletes, selected on the basis of medal potential, to assist with their training and competition expenses while preparing for the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other events such as select world championships. AGSTG allocations are made directly to athletes by the ASC based on submissions received from NSO/NSOD. Athletes interested in applying for this funding should contact their respective NSO/NSOD. Individual applications should not be made direct to the ASC.
