The Tania Dalton Foundation aims to award up to 14 scholarships each year.
The TDF Pathway Programme supports young women in sport with more than just funding.
It’s about creating long-term opportunity — through mentorship, leadership development, and connection to a sisterhood that backs them every step of the way.
What Scholars Receive
Each scholar receives tailored support including funding, development workshops, and one-on-one mentorship — alongside a growing sisterhood of inspiring wāhine toa.
Who It’s For
We support young women aged 15–21 who are competing at regional, national, or high-performance levels, show leadership potential, and face barriers that may limit their opportunities.
How to Apply
Applicants are nominated by their NSO. Scholarships run for three years. Applications open in July with interviews in September/October.
