In accordance with their policy in recent years, the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) placed an advertisement (copy attached) in the Melbourne press on 1st March, calling for applications in the Individual Athlete Scholarship Program (including the Athletes with a Disability Program). This provides athletes whose sports' do not have Tier 1 Program (Major) status at the VIS with opportunities for support.
There may be some high performance athletes in fencing who are not aware of the opportunity to make an application for scholarship in 2007-2008, therefore a copy of the application form is enclosed. If you require further information, please contact the VIS on Tel: (03) 9425 0061 Fax: (03) 9425 0100, Email: nerissa.byrne@vis.org.au or download a copy from their homepage: http://www.vis.org.au or feel free to make duplicate copies yourself. The deadline for receipt of such applications will be Friday 18th April 2008. The VIS cannot accept any late or incomplete applications.
This year, in order to streamline the process for everyone involved, the VIS has introduced an online application option. The athletes are still able to complete written applications if they wish.
Should you require any further clarification, please feel free to contact us at president@fencingvictoria.org.
