Junior Travel Grant Program Extended Urgent attention is needed for your assistance in promoting this program. Information has been posted on the Texas Tennis and Education Foundation website (www.texastennisfoundation.com) since September 2005 about the 2006 program along with a downloadable application. It is almost deadline time for funding selection Period 1 of 2006 and only one application has been received. Please take the time to alert any and all of junior players who would benefit from this program. Remember, the Texas Tennis and Education Foundation Junior Competitive Player Travel Reimbursement Grant’s purpose is to assist competitive junior players with their travel expenses to National Junior Tournament Schedule events or ITF schedule events. Any player, whether Quota (already receiving monetary help from the USTA Texas Section) or not, may submit an application for this travel expense reimbursement grant associated with national events. The maximum amount to be awarded for each player during 2006 will be $1,000. Should a player only have qualifying expenses of only $500 for the first half of the year, he or she will still be able to make another application and qualify for an additional amount not to exceed the maximum award amount specified above. The criteria to be used for consideration are as follows: Need Basis (is there a true financial need associated with traveling to these events) Playing Performance (ranking and/or record) Quota player or not (is the player already receiving money from the USTA Texas Section) Player must also be in good standing with the USTA Texas Section Applications will be accepted in the office of the Texas Tennis and Education Foundation; 8105 Exchange Drive; Austin, TX 78754. You may write/e-mail the office for an application or log on to the Texas Tennis Foundation's website: www.texastennisfoundation.com to find out more information and download an application. There are basically three periods associated with National Junior events; therefore, there are three application periods with appropriate deadlines associated with each. Winter - Spring 2006 (February thru May 2006) Deadline for applications is February 1, 2006 Summer 2006 (June thru September) Deadline for applications is May 1, 2006 Fall 2006 (October 2006 thru January 2007) Deadline for applications is September 1, 2006 From the results of 2005’s program, we are even more excited about this program and hope to assist more competitive junior participants within the USTA Texas Section with their travel expense needs. If you know of any junior players who might benefit from this program, please share this information with them. Again, for more information and to download an application, go to www.texastennisfoundation.com.
