The next round of grants for the Bruce Grant Youth Trust will be in October 2010. Young residents of the Wakatipu Basin will be invited to apply. The trust aims to support young people looking to further themselves in the arts, sport and cultural fields.
This can range from aspirations as simple as learning a musical instrument, or taking art lessons, to trying to gain entry to international competition at the highest level.
Applicants must be aged under 25.
Individuals, as well as teams or clubs, from the Wakatipu area can apply.
The trust was created in the memory of Bruce Grant, a Queenstown adventurer, mountaineer, extreme sportsman and Olympic skier, who died after reaching the summit of K2 in the Himalayas in 1995.
In the 11 years since it was established, the Bruce Grant Youth Trust has distributed more than $200,000 to the young people of the Wakatipu among them actors, skiers, soccer players, horse riders, sailors, rugby players, mountain bikers, snowboarders, tennis players, ice hockey players and rowers.
