This unique opportunity allows up to six talented coaches to further develop their skills and advance within the high-performance sporting pathway.

Minister for Sport and Recreation, Nic Street, expressed the significance of these scholarships in nurturing the next generation of coaches. He stated, “As we strive to train world-class athletes, it is crucial that we identify and support the coaches who will help us reach the pinnacle of sport, both locally and on the international stage. These scholarships not only enhance experience and expertise, but they also aim to provide leadership opportunities for our exceptional coaches.”

The TIS Coaching Scholarships offer access to top-tier sporting and coaching expertise in the state, ensuring that successful applicants receive comprehensive support and guidance. Moreover, the Women in Sport Coaching Scholarships have a specific focus on empowering females to take on leadership roles within Tasmanian sports, particularly at the elite level.
