Glynis Nunn sheds light on the next generation of Gold Coast stars
Junior sport can be a hard road but there is a little help out there for those athletes keen to go the extra mile
AS A young athlete I knew how important every helping hand could be along the way.
The opportunity is now there for young athletes to take their opportunity.
Now is the time to apply for a scholarship with the Gold Coast Academy of Sport.
The Gold Coast Academy of Sport is excited to continue the association with the Carbine Club of Queensland.
This joint venture was started two years ago to support an up and coming athlete in their pursuit of excellence in sport.
Named “The Glynis Nunn” award, the scholarship will be given to an athlete between the ages of 15 and 18 who is striving towards their personal pursuit of excellence.
The athlete receives a Bursary of $5000 over a 12-month period with the GCAS monitoring the process.
The Carbine Club of Queensland works with the Academy and help promote junior sport on the Coast in keeping with the ideals of the Carbine Club.
I am very humbled and pleased to have my name associated with the program.
The athlete needs to demonstrate high standards of responsibility, resilience, courage, dedication, humility, dedication and social skills.
The bursary will help an athlete to further their opportunity for training and competition. Interested?
The successful applicant will become part of the Future Stars program which is part of the development programs run under the GCAS umbrella.
Who can apply? Young aspiring athletes from any sport.
The past two years it has been given to a female; the first was Amy Coulston, who went on to compete for Australia in athletics.
Tianah List (2017) has now taken a scholarship with the University of Alabama to continue her athletics pursuits.
Applications close in April.
