NSW Union of Rowers - Youth Development Scholarships | Applications Now Open

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 $1,000 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 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 170 scholarships since 1992 to assist young rowers in 
developing their careers in the sport, with many recipients going on to represent NSW and 
Australia. Visit https://www.nswrowers.com/Scholarship-Awards.html for the full listing. 

Applications are now open for the 2023 Youth Development Awards, and close at 5:00pm on 
Friday, 28th April. Address all applications to secretary@nswrowers.com

The Awards will be presented at the RNSW Presentation Dinner on Saturday 17th June 2023,
