The Coaching and Officiating Excellence scholarship program is a state wide initiative that provides opportunities for regional and metropolitan based coaches, officials, support personnel and administrators throughout Western Australia.
These scholarships are key components of the High Performance initiative “Future Success”, current DSR Strategic Plan and the State-wide Strategic Direction and Action Plan for Coaching and Officiating. The creation of the scholarship program has been a joint undertaking by DSR and the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS).
High performance scholarships offer a unique opportunity for State Sporting Associations (SSA’s) to work closely with their key high performance personnel to access education, training and mentoring and professional development to improve their skills and techniques within their own region or by travelling state or nation-wide.
Metropolitan and regionally based coaches, officials, administrators and practitioner / support personnel can apply for High Performance scholarships. Only regionally based coaches and officials, administrators and practitioner / support personnel can apply for Regional scholarships.
For assistance with High Performance applications please contact Aaron Morse – Project Officer – Industry Training and Development. For assistance with Regional scholarship applications please contact your Regional Department of Sport and Recreation Office.
