BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Welcome to the Australian Sports Commission's (ASC) online grant application portal, powered by SmartyGrants.
OVERVIEW
The Years 9 and 10 grant program is designed to support the ASC vision that “sport has a place for everyone and delivers results that make Australia proud”. Australian students are becoming less engaged in sport, with a decline in participation evident after the age of 14, particularly in females. By focusing on influencing students in Years 9 and 10, we aim to create an opportunity to provide positive sporting habits and support the involvement of young people in sport; from being a player, volunteer, coach or official.
The Years 9 and 10 program seeks to further explore and test opportunities to support more sport involvement in a school environment for students of all abilities.
Eligible schools can apply for a grant of $3,000 (GST exclusive) to deliver a sport program by engaging a Years 9 and 10 partner sport in one or more of the following categories:
Years 9 and 10 grant program activities must be run over Term 3, 2023.
