Joseph Schooling Sports Grant

The Eurasian Association, Singapore (henceforth “the EA”) will award the Joseph Schooling Sports Grant (“the Grant”) for 2019, in January 2019.

The EA set up the Grant after Joseph Schooling won Singapore’s first Olympic gold medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, to recognise the achievements of Joseph Schooling, and also to inspire young Eurasians to strive for sporting excellence.

The Grant, which is a cash award of S$5,000, primarily serves to defray training and/or equipment costs that might be incurred in pursuit of sporting excellence.

The Grant will be awarded competitively to the most deserving young sportsperson that meets criteria such as:

• Eurasian, as defined by the EA.
• Aged between 14-19 years (inclusive) in the calendar year of the application
• Has won a medal (bronze, silver or gold) in the National Schools Competition, SEA Games, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games, and other events as recognised by the EA.
• In full-time education, and able to be promoted to the next academic year.

The timeline and process for the Grant award in 2019 is as follows:

• Application period: Opens 1 October 2018
