Snow Australia Interschools congratulates the 24 recipients of the 2024 Interschools Scholarships. These financial scholarships for Interschools athletes are funded by the Perisher and Thredbo Resorts, together with the Amelia McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation (AMASDF), with additional AMASDF financial support from Travelplan Ski. The total scholarship amount awarded this year is $35,600.00 - $16K from Perisher, $5.6K from Thredbo, $7K from the AMASDF, and $7K from Travelplan Ski.

The AMASDF has had a long involvement in providing scholarships to junior athletes. The Foundation was established in 2010, in honour of Amelia McGuiness, a gifted and talented athlete and student, with $234,460 in Snowsports Scholarships being awarded over the past 14 years. The foundation is dedicated to supporting developing athletes that have shown commitment to their training and sport, as they move up through the pathway to become possibly elite athletes in snow sports in the future.

Snow Australia Interschools received over 50 applications from NSW, ACT, and QLD Interschools competitors. In determining the selection committee was looking to see evidence of athletes’ dedication to the sport, training, developments and goals for 2024.
