This support the Jaguar Academy of Sport has provided has made a tangible difference to the Rising Stars development pathway, with 33% of the 2010 Rising Stars and 30% of 2011 Rising Stars moving on to Talent Development Pathway Funding.
The Jaguar Academy of Sport has received a highly commended status from the Marketing Society Awards 2012 for the work it is doing to support the next generation of British sporting talent.
How to become a rising star
To be eligible for the Jaguar Academy of Sport Bursary Fund, the young athlete, both able‑bodied and those with a disability, should be nominated to SportsAid for financial support by their sports own national governing body (NGB). This ensures the Jaguar Academy of Sport helps to support the right athletes, at the right time, in the right way.
