WORLD TRIATHLON ATHLETE SCHOLARSHIP

Project Goal
The primary objective of the World Triathlon Athlete Scholarship Programme is to identify and provide support, resources, and expertise to those athletes from developing/emerging National Federations (NF Groups*: 2, 3B, 3A) with the greatest need to help them compete at Continental and World level over the Olympic Qualification Period and help their preparation and qualification for the upcoming Olympic Games and beyond.
(*Note: for NF Groups please visit National Federation Survey  and NF Survey 2019 report)

Project Outline
Athletes selected for the World Triathlon Athlete Scholarship Programme will be carefully ‘placed’ in a programme commensurate with their specific needs in the interest of their progressive development to an elite level. Placements will vary in duration and form depending on the particular outline of the programme developed by the NF in conjunction with World Triathlon Development deemed to be conducive to the athlete’s development needs.

Target Group
The target group will be athletes from developing National Federations (NF Groups: 2, 3B, 3A) who have already shown competence at a Continental and World level and are looking to make the step up to top-level training and racing but need support to do so. These athletes should be seen as Olympic prospects ( Paris 2024 & 2028 LA) by their National Federations. The athletes will be drawn primarily from U23 and elite ranks, but junior athletes can also be considered as part of the next generation for the future.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE OPEN FOR 2023 & 2024.

In 2022 World Triathlon awarded an Athlete Support Grant to U23 Athletes and Para Triathletes in conjunction with the 2022 World Triathlon Championship Finals Abu Dhabi.
