Grant applications cannot be made after the grant application deadline unless there were technical difficulties or extenuating circumstances. Demand for Sporting Schools funding is currently high, and the program is oversubscribed.
Late applications will be considered where technical difficulties have prevented you from applying, and
contact has been made with the Program Operations Centre before the grant application closing date and time.
Late applications may also be considered where extenuating circumstances (such as natural disasters)
prevent you from applying, noting that contact needs to be made with the Program Operations Centre within three business days of the grant application period closing date.
How to find grant application dates
Nominated school contacts are advised of opening and closing dates for Sporting Schools grant application rounds via email at the start of each grant period. Grant application dates are published on the Sporting Schools website, Help Centre and via our social media channels.
You can also download the 2025 grant dates and contacts poster for your school to have in the office or staffroom.
