This grant is very appreciated and will assist me in the pursuit of my important academic education while continuing my sporting pursuits. Attempting sport at a high level and undertaking a uni-degree is difficult both financially and timewise.  As an athlete, involved in a sport where it's epicentre is across the world, it is difficult to financially support yourself, let alone fund your studies.  With the assistance of this grant a part of my financial load of studying will be eased.

My education is important for my future career prospects and I find that sport training while studying actually also seems to assist in balancing stress and mental awareness generally.
