Conditions of the application and for the awarding process:

  1. The Financial Scholarship goes towards the gymnast’s fees for training at Capital Gymnastics. Costs such as affiliation, uniforms, and competition entry fees will be invoiced as usual.

  2. One child per family, can be applied for per term.

  3. Scholarships will be awarded per term and there should be no expectation that a scholarship will be ongoing.

To apply for the Winton and Margaret Bear Financial Scholarship, a letter outlining the ways the gymnast meets the above criteria is required. It is to be sent to committee@capitalgymnastics.nz.

The scholarship funds will be held by Capital Gymnastics and will be able to be used for immediate and future tuition costs. The number and value of scholarships awarded is at the discretion of the selection panel, and no single scholarship will exceed $300 per term. It is expected that the scholarship holders will complete the 2026 season and continue their gymnastics careers with Capital Gymnastics. 

This round of applications will be open from June 21st, 2026 and close on July 5th 2026. The announcement of the Term 3 2026 scholarship winners will be made via email by July 15th 2026 and will be confidential.
