Future Female Leader in Sport Scholarship聽
The AISTS aims to encourage the development of exceptional leaders. In particular, female leaders who are noticeably underrepresented at the critical decision making levels in sport. This is one small but important step in our efforts to address this imbalance for a more relevant and competitive industry.聽
Athlete Scholarship聽
The AISTS Athlete Scholarship will be available to a current or former athlete who has competed at international levels, such as participation in the Olympic Games, World Championships, Commonwealth Games, etc. The current experience and passion combined with our database capturing years of knowledge from great sporting ambassadors, professors and AISTS leading alumni is the formula for the furtherment of global sporting events.聽
