Apollo Projects Sports Grant

Apollo Projects to support students to be able to participate in sport at all levels.

The funding goes to students who would otherwise miss out. There is a demonstrable need (e.g., disadvantaged circumstances) or financial barrier to participation in sport meaning the student might not participate

The individual shows positive interest, ability or potential in their sport.
Funding would assist in potentially providing a better long-term outcome for that student in sport and life.

Funding would be expected to cover direct payment of sports fees, sporting equipment, support services, travel to events etc.

How to apply for this grant.

Students would apply for the Apollo Projects Sports Grant via an online form which would be reviewed and approved by the Director of Sport and Sport Coordinator. A monthly report will be shown to the Principal.

A limit of $500 per student per annum is to be applied (we are open to bigger grants, however, grants over $500 would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by Apollo Projects).
