Scholarship Programme
We have been awarding sporting and recreational scholarships on an annual basis, for several years. The purpose of the scholarship programme is to encourage upcoming regional and national athletes to pursue their endeavours that might not otherwise be attainable.
The scholarships aim to provide financial support for sporting and recreational activities for Disability Sport Auckland members; this financial support can include funding for but not limited to, sporting equipment, training costs, competition costs, travel to events, and coaching/administration at all levels.
