National Officiating Scholarships
Australian Sports Commission
The National Officiating Scholarship Program (NOSP) aims to:
- Assist the development of potential high performance officials by enabling them to undertake professional development and or identified training activities to improve competence.
- Fast-track officials through a recognised pathway, to officiate within the elite level of their chosen sport.
The individualised scholarships will provide support in a variety of areas such as high level practical officiating experience, accreditation upgrade, sports psychology services, sports recovery support services and further development opportunities.
Each scholarship official works with a mentor who assists them for the duration of their scholarship. Mentoring is a key component of the program. The ASC conducts an induction workshop for scholarship officials and their mentors, and provides ongoing support and monitoring throughout the program.
Scholarships are generally conducted over a calendar year and funds are paid through National Sporting Organisations (NSO) to administer the program.
