Women's Sports Foundation Accepting Applications for Rusty Kanokogi Fund for the Advancement of United States Judo Program

The Rusty Kanokogi Fund for the Advancement of United States Judo Program was established to provide direct financial assistance to aspiring female judo athletes with successful competitive records who have the potential to achieve even higher performance levels and rankings.

The goal of the fund, which is administered by the Women's Sports Foundation, is to relieve aspiring elite-level female judo athletes of the financial burden associated with competing at higher levels and to permit them to concentrate on their training.

Individual applicants must be U.S. citizens or legal residents and be eligible to compete for a U.S. national team.

Please note that student athletes applying for the grant are responsible for checking the financial aid regulations of the NCAA or sports organization governing their current or future high school, college, or university to avoid jeopardizing their eligibility for sports participation.

A total of $5,000 in grants will be awarded each calendar year, and any individual may request up to that amount. Requests for assistance are considered for coaching, specialized training, and/or travel.

Visit the Women's Sports Foundation Web site for complete program information and application procedures.
