Athlete's selected for the scholarship will receive coaching, training and competition to improve their development, with the IAS covering skill development, strength, conditioning and education sessions.
IAS communications and events officer Emily Robinson told the Mercury that the weekend's triathlon trials were a success.
"We were happy that we had about 15 young athletes born between 2004-2010 being put through their paces on Sunday at Beaton Park in Wollongong. There's no set number of athletes that we need to settle on and it was pleasing to see we had some athletes come across from our other sports."
