PacificSport Columbia Basin Targeted Coach Travel Grant
Monitor this space for upcoming grant opportunities
PacificSport Columbia Basin recognizes the need for financial aid to support the competition needs of high performance athletes from the Basin. In response to that need, the Athlete Travel Grant has been established to assist individual competitors or teams with the travel-related expenses associated with participating in high-level sporting events. For eligibility criteria and application details please refer to the Athlete Travel Grant application form.
Please note that we are a non-profit sport centre, and our financial aid and grants are prioritized for athletes and families who demonstrate financial need. The requests and demands for support often outnumber the amount of funding we are able to provide. We believe strongly that sport is for everyone, and financial barriers can and must be reduced in order to develop equity in the sport system.
Athletes can only apply for this grant once per year.
Grants must be submitted by email to columbiabasin@pacificsport.com by 11:59 pm on the stated date
