The Tasmanian Institute of Sport Individual Support Program’s (ISP) purpose to provide opportunities for performance progression to Tasmanian elite athletes in sports where the TIS does not deliver or partner in a program.
The TIS currently partners in programs with the following sports: cycling, hockey, rowing, track & field, netball, canoe slalom, swimming and sailing. Enquiries relating to these sport programs should be directed to the TIS Sport Program Coordinator in the first instance.
Eligibility:
The ISP typically caters to elite senior athletes and targeted junior high-performance athletes competing in Olympic, Paralympic or Commonwealth Games sports.
In keeping with the Australian Institute of Sport’s (AIS) sport categorisation strategy, athletes who have a current ‘categorisation’ with their National Sporting Organisation (NSO) will be prioritised in terms of allocation of available resources.
The program offers two categories of support, Individual Scholarship and Assisted Athlete.
Athletes are considered on a case-by-case basis, and their applications must meet the Tasmanian Institute of Sport criteria.
