THE ISCA KIDSPORT FUND
Both KidSport Alberta and the Indigenous Sport Council of Alberta (ISCA) recognize the importance of doing more to assist Indigenous children into sport. They are committed to doing their part by providing funding for sport registration fees to help break down one of the many barriers of sport participation.
Indigenous families in Alberta that live in areas of the province not covered by a local KidSport chapter now have a specific online application to apply for KidSport funding. A family should check here to ensure they are not covered by a KidSport chapter prior to using this new application form.
If the family is not covered by a local chapter please use this registration form to register for the ISCA KidSport application. This registration is only required once, the family login to the KidSport online application system will then have access to the application for any future applications. If the family lives in an area covered by a local chapter please click on the chapter name in this list to be taken to their website to apply.
Indigenous families who have completed the registration form will login to the KidSport online application system at this link.
