Performance Academy Sailing Scholarships
Sailing Scholarship Opportunities
What is this scholarship about?
In 2023, four sailors across the junior, youth and senior pathway will be selected to have subsidised access to our Performance Academy group training, a mentoring programme and team kit.
These sailors will be selected based on their need for additional support and their alignment to the ASF’s values (Inclusivity, Enjoyment, Community, Development, Inspiring & Partnerships). The full value of the scholarship will be up to £2,000 per person depending on the training and opportunities chosen.
As part of the scholarship, sailors will be asked to engage with Performance Academy social media posts and write two blog posts about their experience through the scholarship and the impact of the support offered.
How do I apply?
Interested sailors should submit their applications by 31st December 2022 here: CLICK HERE
Applicants will be shortlisted by a panel of experts in the field and successful candidates will be announced early in 2023.
