The Individual Athlete Scholarships Program has been established to provide financial support to promising young athletes in Australia that enables them to have the best opportunity to develop and achieve their full potential on and off the golf course.

The flexible program with a focus on female athletes is designed to complement the existing Golf Australia Rookie Program, Karrie Webb Scholarship Program and Cameron Smith Scholarship Program to help our young athletes pursue their dreams of becoming professional tour players.

Pursuing a career in professional golf is not an easy path, and the challenges can often be overwhelming. The program aims to help alleviate these challenges by providing financial support to deserving athletes.

Funds raised through the program can primarily be used to cover two key streams of expenses: training and preparation, and competition expenses. These expenses may include coaching, sports psychology, travel expenses, and other needs as identified by the donor or athlete.

We are proud that a number of Australia's outstanding young athletes have previously received scholarships, including Minjee Lee, Cameron Smith, and Hannah Green, among others. These athletes are proof of the positive impact that scholarships can have on a young athlete's career.

Potential athletes for the program may apply for a scholarship and can also be nominated by donors or identified by Golf Australia for consideration.
