At sportscotland we are committed to the principle of achievement in sport, from the individual benefits and pride that people experience by performing at their best to the collective benefits and national pride generated when Scotland performs and achieves on the world stage.
In order to ensure that our funding for performance sport is well coordinated with planning for sport, our athlete support funding goes directly to governing bodies for sport.
Therefore, if you would like to find out more about funding for your development, the first place to start would be the Scottish Governing Body of sport for your chosen sport. You can find a full list of the recognised Scottish Governing Bodies for sport in our contacts section.
Some local authorities also offer support to athletes within their area. You can find a full list of Scotland’s local authorities in our contacts section.
