Athlete Funding

External funding can be a great source of financial support to Athletes to support their further development and make dreams a reality.

Various local authorities, trusts and sports councils across Scotland offer funding for local sports clubs and Athletes. We would encourage Athletes to contact these organisations when looking for support to see what might be available locally.

SportsAid Scotland changed its name from Scottish Sports Aid at the start of 2014. It is a charity that provides financial assistance in the form of grant awards to talented sporting youngsters in the 12 to 22 year age range and to disability athletes of any age who are already competing at national level in their age group and have the potential to represent Scotland at senior level. The finance given is to help the athletes with their travel and training costs, and will hopefully assist them in becoming Scotland’s future sporting stars.

If you are an athlete and wish to know more about how to apply for a SportsAid Scotland grant, then please refer to our nomination process.
