The Government of the Northwest Territories and the Sport North Federation are now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 High Performance Athlete Grant.

To qualify for the grant an athlete must be a member in good standing of a national or territorial sport organization, be a Canadian citizen and resident of the NWT, not have full-time employment, and several other requirements.
The full criteria for the grant as well as more information about the program can be found here.
Those who wish to apply must fill out an application, available here, and submit it and all other required documentation to sport_and_recreation@gov.nt.ca
Funding allocations through the grant will be based on an athlete’s achievements and recognition at the national and international level.
All applications must be submitted by October 16, 2026.
