NSTC SnowReady – Interschools Scholarship Pilot Program
Snow Australia, in partnership with Perisher and Thredbo, is excited to announce a new initiative to support the growth and development of young Snowsports athletes. The Perisher and Thredbo Interschools Athlete Scholarship funds will be redirected to launch a free pilot program: The NSTC SnowReady – Interschools Scholarship Program.
This program is designed to support and develop our up-and-coming athletes by offering NSW, ACT and QLD Interschools participants access to a structured, one-day dry-land training experience at the National Snowsports Training Centre (NSTC) in Jindabyne. Attendees will benefit from expert coaching, tailored physical conditioning, and educational sessions that support their on-snow performance and overall development. This program encourages wider participation and helping more young people explore opportunities in snowsports beyond the Interschools competition.
To make the program as accessible and flexible as possible, seven training dates have been carefully scheduled to align with the Perisher and Thredbo club calendars. Sessions will not be held during the NSW school holidays or the Interschools Championships, reducing clashes with other commitments. One session will take place during the Queensland school holidays to better accommodate interstate participants.
The program will proceed once minimum participation numbers are reached, and athletes can select their preferred training date from the available options.
Snow Australia, in partnership with Perisher and Thredbo, is expanding opportunities for our NSW, QLD and ACT Interschools participants, strengthening community connections, and fostering long-term participation and engagement in snowsports.
