The USATF Emerging Female Grant provides $12,000 in annual funds to minority women track and field coaches to attend a USATF Coaching Education Level 1, 2, 3 School or approved USATF specialty course. Grant amount varies by program and may include room and board, or travel costs up to the stated maximum reimbursement amount. Past Emerging Female Grant recipients are eligible to re-apply in future years to complete a different program; however they may only receive one USATF Coaching Enhancement Grant per calendar year.

Emerging Female Grant applications are reviewed on the first business day each month and early application is advised. An application must be received prior to the program’s stated registration deadline. Grant funds cannot be awarded retroactively and must be used in the calendar year awarded (no carryover). Recipients will be notified via email with further instructions for claiming their grant, which may involve reimbursement or use of a promo code to register. Applications will close once funds are depleted or the program’s registration deadline has passed.
