Support a scholarship
Help remove barriers. Help women stay in coaching.
WSRT scholarships are powered by supporters who believe women deserve equal opportunity to lead in sport.
You can support by:
Sponsoring a full $1,000 scholarship (with naming rights)
Contributing to pooled scholarship funding
Making a donation to support women in coaching
Your support helps cover real costs — and creates real change.
Why this matters in Tasmania
Women face ongoing barriers to entering and remaining in coaching — particularly in regional and island communities.
Cost, travel, isolation and limited access to development opportunities mean too many women step away before reaching their potential. WSRT scholarships are designed to change that.

Whether you’re applying, donating or sponsoring, your involvement helps shape the future of women and girls in sport across Tasmania.
