B. C. Dage Corporation Athlete Travel Grant Announcement!

by | Aug 25, 2012 | Scholarship & Grants | 0 comments

NEXT DEADLINE: September 15, 2012

The B.C. Dage Corporation Athlete Travel Grant has been established by a generous donation to USJF to support travel for competition or training for up-and-coming USJF athletes.

There is also a separate application process for a Yudanshakai to request travel funds to bring elite USJF competitors to conduct clinics. The Yudanshakai must provide lodging, meals, and a stipend to the athlete conducting the clinic. The aim is to jointly benefit the Yudanshakai and help the athlete support her or his training through teaching. The grant enables Yudanshakai to benefit from the opportunity to work with competitors from other regions of the country. These competitors must meet the same criteria as those for athletes seeking travel funding for competition.

Timing:

  • Applications available – NOW
  • Applications due – 9/15/12 for events happening 10/15/12-2/28/13
  • Decisions will be made by 9/30/12

Next cycle:

  • Applications due – 12/31/12 for events happening 3/1/13-5/15/13
  • Decisions will be made by 1/15/13

    • Must have been a USJF member for the previous two consecutive years.
    • Must be currently registered.
    • Must be member of USJF charter club at time of application.

  3. The applicant must send a simple written request explaining the travel grant request, amount of the request, and the anticipated outcome of the travel (i.e., improving judo skills by attending workshops, travel for training, or travel to competitions). In the event of a yudanshakai wanting a workshop conducted by one of these qualified athletes the yudanshakai should make the request.
