Athlete Scholarships are part of the Olympic Solidarity World Programmes. The priority of these is to reinforce the NOCs structure, to increase support for athletes at all levels and for youngsters in particular, and to increase assistance for the preparation of athletes for Continental and Regional Games.

The athlete programmes are organized on a quadrennial basis. For 2009-2012 Athlete Scholarships for sailors were awarded to:
