SSACT Scholarship Fund

The SSACT Scholarship Fund is once again open and available for students who have been selected in a SSACT representative team and is required to travel interstate to compete at the respective School Sport Australia National Championships.

More information on the Scholarship Fund and its consideration criteria, can be found here.

Successful applicants will receive a $500 deduction from their team fees during the payment phase of the team preparation process. The approval process can be quite quick once the student is selected and one of the criteria is deemed as a 'Circumstantial Hardship' e.g. multiple children from the same family making teams in a close timeframe.

Scholarship applications are to be submitted to eo@schoolsportact.org.au.
