PM Scholarships 2012: YNZ Endorsement Guidelines
Prime Minister’s (PM) Scholarships assist athletes who seek to do well on the international stage in Olympic class competition and also gain a tertiary level education.
PM Scholarships are managed by Sport New Zealand however Yachting New Zealand will be required to endorse and then rank applicants.
This year Yachting New Zealand will be looking at the following when assessing how to rank or endorse sailors’ applications for a PM Scholarship.
- Carding level (carded sailors take priority as per Sport New Zealand guidelines)
- Results achieved at international regattas in previous year
- Regattas attended in previous year
- Sailors’ adherence to previous years PM Scholarship application campaign plan
- Sailors must be currently sailing an Olympic class campaigning towards Olympic class World Championships and Olympics.
(In double handed classes this means be currently with a committed crew)
(there will be some leniency with the multihull this year around the boat being sailed but it is expected crews should be training and competing in a high performance multihull)
Those wishing to apply for a PM Scholarship should;
1. Keep looking at the following website for the opening of applications
