 |  New Travel Grant Program 11/30/04 - We would like to introduce you to a new grant program known as Texas Tennis Foundation Junior Competitive Player Travel Reimbursement Grant. The purpose of this grant 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 2005 will be $1,000. Should a player only have qualifying expenses of $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) Applications will be accepted in the office of the Texas Tennis Foundation; 8105 Exchange Drive; Austin, TX 78754. You may write the office for an application or you may 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 2005 (February thru May 2005) Deadline for applications is February 1, 2005 - Summer 2005 (June thru September) Deadline for applications is May 1, 2005 - Fall 2005 (October 2005 thru January 2006) Deadline for applications is September 1, 2005 We are excited about this new program and hope to assist more competitive junior participants within the USTA Texas Section with their travel expense needs. If you have additional questions, contact the Texas Tennis Foundation at 512/928-4783 or by e-mail at leichenbaum@texas.usta.com for more immediate response. |
