The Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) through funds received from PanAm Sports will soon reactivate its stipend disbursements to eligible coaches and athletes.
This is according to a post made on the association’s Facebook page on Thursday.
The post is below:
Major funding for athletes is provided via Olympic Solidarity scholarships (available to only a few of the top-ranked athletes) and via Games Preparation Funding, when available.
For the past few years, the Guyana Olympic Association has provided a small stipend to athletes and coaches from funds received from PanAm Sports. This stipend lapsed after the Tokyo Olympics and is now being reactivated. Via email of September 23rd, National Federations have been asked to submit the following information by September 30, 2022:
Coaches:
• Sport Discipline
• Name of coach recommended
• Justification for support
• How will grant support to coach impact the member affiliate programme
• Which level target and number of athletes coach will be engaging
• Program design objective aims
• Number of coach’s previous recipients
• Any other supporting information to justify selection
Athletes:
• Sport Discipline
• Name of athlete recommended
• Age of athlete
• Justification for support
• How will grant support impact the athlete’s development and performance
• Athlete’s potential/resume major performances

We look forward to receiving responses on or before the September 30th deadline so that disbursements may begin as soon as possible.
