Amy Gillett Scholarship

Amy had a great love for life, sport and education. The Amy Gillett Scholarship seeks to honour her memory by supporting the young women who aspire to the same pursuit of sporting and educational excellence as Amy did.

This Scholarship offers a unique opportunity to assist Australia's talented up-and-coming women cyclists by providing national and international competition and training opportunities - the next generation of Amy Gillett's.

The Amy Gillett Scholarship is a partnership between the AGF and Cycling Australia/AIS High Performance Program. The AGF is also grateful for the support of Giant Bicycles and Oakley for their generous donation of equipment and products for the recipient and the AIS with support of medical services for the recipient.

Applicants are judged on the following criteria:

1. Future development of talent and physiology.
2. Current and/or previous studying circumstances for furthering career.
3. Results to date at a competition both nationally and internationally
4. Potential to fulfil the Amy Gillett Scholarship through self confidence, leadership, sportsmanship, charisma, determination and life skills.
5. Team commitment.
6. Multiple sporting history, similar to Amy’s talents.

Applications are open to all senior women at the elite level, who are not current or past AIS scholarship holders.

Applications for the 2009 Scholarship will open in January 2009. For a sample of the 2008 application form, click on the link below.
