IAAF Scholarships for Athletes – The ‘B’ Standard Project

The IAAF President, Lamine Diack, has set the goal for the IAAF that there should be at least one athlete of each Member Federation capable of achieving the ‘B’ Qualification Standard for the World Championships in Athletics or the Olympic Games. This is an ambitious objective considering the level of the performances to be achieved and the fact that about one third of the IAAF Member Federations have yet to achieve this level of performance.

The IAAF has established a scholarship programme, the IAAF ‘B’ Standard Project, which will enable athletes who have the potential but lack the appropriate athletics environment to develop their competitive performance. By training in appropriate conditions and with provision of the necessary support that may not be available in the athlete’s own country they will be prepared to, at minimum, achieve the ‘B’ Standard.
