Targeted Athlete Support Program
The Targeted Ontario-based U21 Athlete Support Program is designed to help high-potential athletes overcome financial barriers that may limit their training, competition, and long-term athletic development. The program provides targeted financial assistance to athletes who demonstrate exceptional performance potential and commitment to their sport. The performance outcome goal is to have successful applicants converting to Sport Canada funding (AAP) and participating in, as part of crew, or as a sculler, in boats capable of making finals at future U23 World Rowing Championships.
