For the upcoming WMA Outdoor Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden (August 13-25, 2024) grants will go to qualified athletes who are in need of financial assistance to attend the meet.
Applications must be submitted by the close of meet registrations on June 4, 2024 – any applications received after that date will not be considered.
The Travel Grant Committee will distribute one-third of available travel grant funds prior to the meet to those who would not otherwise be in a position to attend but have a high likelihood of winning a medal at the meet. The Travel Grant Committee will distribute the remaining two-thirds of the available travel grant funds to athletes who medal at the meet itself. Please note that the available grants will not fully cover an athlete’s entire travel expenses. In no case will the pre-meet grant to an athlete exceed $1000, and no athlete will receive more than $1000 in medal prize money. Athletes who otherwise have a portion of their travel paid for by USATF are ineligible to apply.
Applicants must provide verifiable evidence that they have a high likelihood of winning a medal and evidence of their financial need.
