Scholarships
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) delivers 36 sport programs across 26 different sports.
The selection criteria used for each scholarship varies based on the sport, but will usually require current (or pending) Australian citizenship and national championship-level performance.
For over 25 years the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) has nurtured and supported athletes who have gone on to become Olympic and Paralympic medalists and highly successful international sportsmen and sportswomen, including NBA basketballers, Premier League football players, Grand Slam tennis stars and world champion cricketers.
Athletes are attracted to the AIS for its expert coaching, state-of-the-art facilities, world-leading sports science and sports medicine, and unique opportunities for travel, study and work. But an AIS scholarship offers much more than coaching and facilities — Athletes who join the AIS family become part of a unique community of people with diverse interests who learn, train, celebrate and excel together.
2011 scholarship applications
Applications for 2011 AIS scholarships are now closed. Please check back here later in the year for more information on AIS scholarships in 2012.
Other scholarships
Scholarships in the remaining AIS sport programs are offered to athletes following a selection process involving AIS coaching staff and the applicable national sporting organisation.
Please note that AIS head coaches reserve the right to offer scholarships to athletes at any time through the year.
