Athlete Travel Award Scheme

The Athlete Travel Award Scheme (ATAS) supports travel costs for Highlands and Islands competitors to help talented athletes gain better access to competitive and developmental opportunities available across Scotland. Successful applicants benefit from up to £1,500 to support travel and accommodation costs in attending training and competitions.  The overall standard of applicants is consistently very high and this guide to frequently asked questions should help you to prepare your application. Please read this to help you complete your application and get in touch with your ATAS facilitator if you have further questions.

The application will open online on Friday 14th February and will close on Monday 17th March 2025.

On review of the 2021/22 application process, it was agreed that having two rounds of applications for each 12 month period would best serve the athletes of the Outer Hebrides. Athletes will be able to apply for both the First (April – October) and Second (October – March 2026) six month period applications, or just one, depending on their competition calendar.
