Since its introduction in 2008 the SASSOT Coach Scholarship Scheme has provided £33000 to support over 400 coaches and officials gain new qualifications. SASSOT is delighted to announce that an additional £20000 has been secured to support this scheme over the next financial year.
The maximum grant that can be applied for per organisation is £2000 based on SASSOT funding up to 50% or £300 per qualification whichever comes first. All applications need to come via either a National Governing Body, local authority or the School Sports Partnership. The closing date for the first round of applications is the 9th July. Dates for further rounds of funding are listed on the application form which is available at http://www.sportacrossstaffordshire.co.uk/Coaches/CoachScholarshipScheme.
Funding is only available for coaching and officiating qualifications with the priority this year being supporting coaches achieving Level 2 and Level 3 UKCC qualifications. For further information visit our website or contact Ben Hollands on 01785 619317.
