Olympic champions to get scholarships equivalent to five average salaries, as government increases support for young athletes
Beginning January 1, 2026, students and young individuals who excel in sports will receive monthly scholarships from the government. This initiative is part of an expansion of the national program aimed at supporting high-performance athletes. The scholarships will be available to adolescents aged 13 to 15 as well as young adults aged 21 to 23, a group that has not previously received this financial assistance.
