Athlete Support

Athletes are at the heart of the Foundation

The Foundation exists because athletes, young people of the Pacific Islands talented and enthusiastic about sport, deserve equal opportunities that young people of more developed countries enjoy and have access to. The Foundation supports athletes directly through sports scholarships but it is mindful of the wider ecosystem of sport that exists for athletes. Given existing education systems and policies that often deprioritise sports and physical education, resource constraints, and unclear pathways from schools to professional or sporting careers, this section provides basic guidance to both existing and potential athletes, and their support networks. The following will be uploaded progressively:
