Australian Football
Australian football was an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) scholarship sport from 1997 to 2013.
The AIS Australian Football program was established in 1997 to provide high-quality training and education to footballers at the elite junior level.
Through a partnership with the Australian Football League (AFL), scholarship holders were part of the AIS/AFL Academy. The program aimed to prepare scholarship holders for drafting to senior AFL clubs.
During 2013, the AIS transitioned out of athlete scholarships and sport programs. Responsibility for coaches, athletes and programs was transferred to the principal National Sporting Organisation for Australian football at the time.
This page includes athletes who were on AIS scholarship for at least three months consecutively. All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the information is accurate and comprehensive.
