NSW Union of Rowers Youth Development Awards for 2022

The NSW Union of Rowers awards scholarships to young rowers who display potential and are in need of financial assistance to achieve their goals in rowing. This year at least five awards of $1000 will be made if there are sufficient applications of an appropriate standard.

Any young rower or coxswain aged from 14 to 19 years at 31st December this year is eligible to apply, provided they are currently registered as a Competing Member of Rowing NSW. For Para athletes only, the upper age is set at 22 years.

While performance on the water is not the only criterion used in the evaluation of the applications, athletes who have performed consistently over the season and achieved success in club or school regattas, at the NSW Championships and in particular at the National Regatta should lodge an application.

The application form is available on the NSW Union of Rowers website at https://www.nswrowers.com/scholarships.html together with a full explanation of the procedure to follow and the eligibility criteria and conditions of the award.

The NSW Union of Rowers has awarded 164 scholarships since 1992 to assist young rowers in developing their careers in the sport, with a number of recipients going on to represent NSW and Australia.

Applications are now open for the 2022 Youth Development Awards, and close at 5:00pm on Friday 13th May 2022.

The Awards will be presented at the Rowing NSW Presentation Dinner at L'Aqua Terrace Room in Cockle Bay Wharf on Saturday 4th June 2022. Full details can be found here.
