Indigenous Coach & Officials Bursary

We are thrilled to announce that from April 1st, 2024 – March 31, 2025, Indigenous Coaches and Officials can receive a bursary for 100% of their training fees covered, to a max of $300 per fiscal year through the new Indigenous Coach and Officials Bursary Program!

This incredible initiative by ISWO and delivered in partnership with CAO, aims to break down barriers and support coaches and officials of Indigenous ancestry. In order to receive coverage for your fees, you must meet the following criteria:

Must be a current member in good standing with a recognized Sport Organization, Multi-sport Organization, or Provincial/Territorial Aboriginal Sport Body.

Must identify as being of Indigenous ancestry.

Must be a resident of Ontario.

Spread the word and tag someone who could benefit from this amazing opportunity! Let’s work together to elevate Indigenous representation in coaching and officiating.
