The Sport Australia Hall of Fame (SAHOF) today announced the remaining 16 scholarships for up-and-coming elite athletes in its 2023 Scholarship and Mentoring Program.

Australian Diver Kate Rosman has been named as one of the 16 recipients of the Tier 3 Scholarship, with each athlete receiving a grant of $2,500 plus support from SAHOF and its esteemed member base over the next 15 months.

It comes off the back of a fantastic season for Rosman, which saw her win 3m Synchronised bronze with Alysha Koloi in the 2022 Canadian Diving Grand Prix.

The 20-year-old said she was humbled by the scholarship news and excited about the future opportunities it will bring her.

“I am extremely grateful to have been selected for a Sport Australia Hall of Fame scholarship,” she said. “I feel so lucky to be a part of a group of incredible athletes.

“Diving has given me many amazing experiences and I am so excited to see what the next few years have in store.

“The support from SAHOF allows me to get one step closer to reaching my goals.”

Over the last three weeks, 32 Sport Australia Hall of Fame scholarships covering 28 sports have been announced, supporting the next generation of Australia’s sporting stars on their journey to excellence and success in sport and in life.

Diving Australia’s General Manager, High Performance and Pathways, Steve Foley congratulated Rosman on being selected in the SAHOF program.

“Diving Australia is so pleased for Kate, being selected to be part of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship and Mentoring Program,” he said

“Kate has a very bright future in diving and we know from previous experience with this excellent
program that is of huge benefit.

“Thank you to the wonderful people at the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and huge congratulations Kate!”

As the nation’s leading sports scholarship program, backed by the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport, $150,000 of funding has been awarded this year to the recipients for use on resources to help them achieve greatness in their chosen sport. 

Sport Australia Hall of Fame Chief Executive Officer, Adrianne Sarkozy, congratulated all athletes on their recognition.

“The Scholarship and Mentoring Program is truly unique. We are so grateful to be able to provide, for the third year in a row, 32 scholarships that not only receive financial support but exclusive online meetings with Sport Australia Hall of Fame members as guest speakers,” she said.

“We received over two hundred applicants from an array of sports, Olympic, para and professional, along with new sports that have never been a part of the program, such as badminton. This is a testament to the popularity and importance of the program.

“We welcome all 32 athletes into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame family, and I am sure they will find support, guidance, and enjoy the opportunities that come from aligning with us.”
