Application Deadline is September 15, 2007
A Coaches Educational Incentive Program has been approved by the Board of Directors of
Connecticut Swimming which will provide educational grants for Connecticut
Swimming coaches who participate in CSI activities and events. Four (4) grants to a maximum of $500
each, ($2000 in total), will be provided each year to eligible CSI registered
coaches. Coaches will be selected to
receive CSI Educational Grants based upon a pre-established Point System (see
below) and other established criteria.
At the end of each fiscal year, eligible coaches will be required to
complete and forward to Connecticut Swimming an
Application for an
Educational Grant. Coaches
will provide on this application a complete listing of all activities and
events in which he/she participated in the fiscal year -- September 1 to
August 31. |

Grants, which are available for a period of one year
from the date the selection is made, may only be used to cover and/or defray
the cost of educational activities (i.e, expenses relating to attendance at clinics
-- registration fee, transportation, and hotel or educational materials --
videos, manuals, books, etc.).
Expenses for such shall be paid directly by Connecticut Swimming to
the supplier or service. In no event
may a coach apply CSI grant dollars for expenses reimbursed by the coach's
club, by Connecticut Swimming or by any other party or for expenses related
to entertainment, meals or car rental. Connecticut Swimming further reserves
the right to approve the use of all grants.
In the event that more than four (4) coaches achieve the same number
of points in a given fiscal year, the grant(s) shall be evenly divided. In no event may a coach be entitled to a
CSI educational grant in two consecutive years. |
