EXPANDING ACCESS TO NATIONAL COMPETITION
Team USATF Masters athletes are among the most accomplished in the world, yet must cover all their own travel expenses. This program bridges that gap so deserving athletes can compete at the national level.
Who Can Apply

Financial Need
Grants are targeted at athletes with annual income below $50,000. Unemployed and retired athletes are especially encouraged to apply.
How It Works
Grants are awarded annually and can be used to cover travel and meet expenses. Awards are made at the sole discretion of the NMA Travel Grant Board.
