Western Australia's best regional athletes are being encouraged to apply for the latest round of State Government funding.
The Athlete Travel Subsidy Scheme (ATSS) helps country athletes with the cost of travel and accommodation when competing at regional, State and national competitions.
The scheme supports those who have progressed into high-performance pathways of their chosen sport.
Sport and Recreation Minister Mick Murray said the funding will ensure country athletes are given the extra help they need to succeed.
"Anyone from the country knows the extra challenges young sportspeople face – and we hope the ATSS provides that extra bit of help for parents and clubs wanting their athletes to develop their skills so they can reach their full potential," Minister Murray said.
"Many of our sporting champions come from regional WA and the scheme is specifically designed to help our young athletes in a variety of sports to compete at higher levels."
Athletes must be aged between 13 and 21 to be eligible.
Applications for the current round of funding close September 13.
