Travel Grants Application
Travel grants to assist ILCAWA members attending international ILCA sailing events funds are usually made available each calendar year. Events considered are overseas World Championship events only. An application must be made on the attached form before attending the Event and before any advertised deadline by the Association inviting applications for that calendar year.
Applicant Criteria:
Participation in all ILCAWA events e.g. State Championships in the previous season.
Competed at the majority of local WA events in the previous season.
Competed at the majority of YWA events in the previous season (Youth sailors) e.g. Westsail, State Youth Championships.
Held volunteer positions on the ILCAWA committee or their home club committee in the previous season.
OR
The sailor or their direct family have volunteered at ILCAWA level or club level in an official or non official capacity in the previous season on a consistent basis e.g. race day duties, volunteer coaching and other approved tasks assisting the laser class association.
The emphasis is on what has been done in the previous season. As such if a sailor can meet the above criteria on a year to year basis then ILCAWA will be happy to support this individual each year they apply provided their are sufficient funds. Up to $600 is available in a single travel grant request however the actual amount is dependent on the number of applications and the budget set by ILCAWA.
Successful applicants will be paid after attending the World Championship and after providing a short report with some photos or video for publication on the Associations website and FaceBook site.
