Derbyshire Sport Coach Bursary Fund
The aim of the Coach Bursary Fund is to encourage and support the personal and professional development of coaches working in Derbyshire through subsidising the costs of coach education.
Priority will be given to coaches who:
1) are coaching in Derbyshire
2) are:
a) Coaching on a school-club link or extending activities project
b) Supporting Step into Sport or Leadership Academy members
c) Coaching Talented Athletes
d) Coaching within a voluntary sector club
e) Community Sport Coaches or Derbyshire Coach Mark coaches
f) Derbyshire Leadership Academy members
Coaches will be able to apply for a maximum of 50% of the total cost or £200, whichever is the lowest figure.
The maximum grant that can be claimed per organisation per financial year (April - April) is £300 for Level 1 courses and £300 for Level 2. There is no limit per organisation for other coach education.
Priority will be given to coaches who meet the criteria above and who are from under represented groups in coaching: women, black and ethnic minorities, disabled people and unemployed.
The Coach Bursary Fund will only fund Coach Education taking place during the current round or in the near future. We will not fund courses already completed.
Payment will usually be made after the course has been completed. Costs will be reimbursed upon the production of receipts.
