Young Athlete Grant Scheme - applications open for 2026
The AAA has a fund which is able to support English athletes under the age of 24 who are in full time education and active in athletics. Applicants should not be receiving other funding and must be eligible to compete for England.
Registered charity Athletics for the Young offer financial help to young athletes and aim to spread their money widely to as many as possible, so athletes receiving help elsewhere will not usually be granted an award. The charity are particularly interested in helping genuine hardship cases for promising young athletes. Over recent years, it has been the policy of the Charity to award small grants of the order of £100 to £400. It is possible to apply for funds for costs including equipment and travel.
