Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund

The Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund (SESF) empowers talented young athletes facing financial hardship by providing scholarships to athletes aged 10-18 years old, selected to represent their state, territory, or country.

Their scholarships alleviate costs associated with travel and participation because, at SESF, they believe that your ability to play sport shouldn’t depend on your capacity to pay for it.

To be eligible for an SESF Scholarship, applicants must:

  • Be between 10 and 18 years old,
  • Be selected to represent their state or territory, or Australia,
  • Be competing in a National or International Championship for an Australian Sports Commission recognised sport,
  • Be enrolled in an Australian school. This includes Government and non-Government Schools,
  • Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident (within the meaning of the Australian Citizenship Act 2007),
  • Be experiencing financial hardship.

Amount: Up to $1,000
Status: Open, ongoing
