Young sports stars who are participating in a state, national, or international championship this year may be assisted in the latest round of the Local Sporting Champions grant.
The Local Sporting Champions program provides financial assistance for coaches, officials and competitors aged 12-18 participating in state, national or international championships.
Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland encouraged eligible local athletes to apply for the grants.
“We are a region with an extremely proud sporting culture, particularly with our youth sports,” she said.
“Sadly, living regionally can bring forth some additional barriers for our local athletes to attend some of the major sporting events in cities across the country.”
Providing up to $750 in funds to compete in a sporting championship, the latest round is currently open and will close at 11.59pm on January 31.
