St Anne’s Park Tennis Club Bursary
Introduction
In 2021, SAPTC introduced a bursary for the club, the purpose of which is to promote the continued growth and development of tennis at our club.
Set Up
The Captains’ sub-committee has been authorised by the executive committee of SAPTC to manage the SAPTC Tennis Bursary scheme.
Application
Any member of the club can make an application for support.
Applications for bursary funding should be submitted on the official application form and no funds can be made available until that application is approved by the bursary committee.
Please ensure that the bursary applications are made in a timely manner as we will not accept applications to validate retrospective spends.
We ask that no individual commits any bursary funds without this formal approval.
Each applicant is typically limited to one application per annum but there may be exceptions to this.
Goals
The objective is to support and grow our club and tennis, by providing support for the development of specific individuals.
Individual players who benefit from the bursary will be expected to support and promote SAPTC tennis club in an agreed capacity.
