World Aquatics Scholarship Program Accepting Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n

World Aquatics has opened its application process for the World Aquatics Scholarship Program, it announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

This is the 10th season for the program<\/a>, begun in 2014 by FINA (now World Aquatics). It offers scholarships for swimmers for a one-year program beginning in September 2023 that, \u201cputs them in an environment to help them reach their full aquatics potential,\u201d per a press release<\/a>. The deadline to apply is May 25.<\/p>\n

For the 2023 batch of recipients of the World Aquatics Scholarship Program, the organization is targeting to reach 100 swimmers<\/a>, 20 open-water swimmers<\/a>, 20 divers<\/a> and 10 artistic swimming duets<\/a>. (Links direct you to the relevant application for each discipline.)<\/p>\n

The body, \u201ctakes into consideration continent quotas and gender equality\u201d for each class. Selected candidates will be placed at one of the five World Aquatics Training Centers for one or two years, with rare special dispensation to fund individual training.<\/p>\n

The program is targeted at promising young swimmers in regions of the world that are traditionally under-resourced for swimming, with the goal of helping those swimmers reach other secondary institutions and compete internationally at a high level, including in the Olympics and at World Championships. The program is part of World Aquatics\u2019 outreach strategy, which it sees as, \u201ca crucial development programme aimed at furthering the progress of national teams globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the press release:<\/p>\n

The main goal of the World Aquatics Scholarships Programme is to identify and create an optimal training environment for athletes aspiring to represent their countries at the next World Aquatics Championships and the Olympic Games. The programme aims to support athletes with greater needs and help them reach their full potential.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy greatest pleasure as World Aquatics President comes in spending time with our athletes,\u201d World Aquatics president Husain Al-Musallam<\/strong> said. \u201cTravelling to competitions and training centres and meeting with our scholarship holders only strengthens our commitment to offering opportunities like this to our athletes. Scholarship athletes benefit from elite coaching, while also having the ability to continue their academic studies at the same time. In 2023, we are offering more scholarships than ever before. I encourage any interested athlete to apply.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
