The National Officiating Scholarships aims to assist the development of emerging high performance officials by enabling them to undertake professional development and identified training activities to improve their skills and to fast track them through a recognised pathway to officiate within the elite level of their chosen sport.

The individualised scholarships will provide support in a variety of areas such as high level practical officiating experience, accreditation advancement, sports psychology services, sports recovery support services and further development opportunities.

Each scholarship official works with a mentor who assists them for the duration of their scholarship. Mentoring is a key component of the program. The ASC conducts an induction workshop for scholarship officials and their mentors, and provides ongoing support and monitoring throughout the program.

Scholarships are generally conducted over a calendar year and funds are paid through National Sporting Organisations (NSO) to administer the program.
