Wednesday 8th June, 2005

SIX gifted academics will be offered three-year study scholarships under a $440,000 program announced by Sport Knowledge Australia yesterday. Chief executive Leighton Wood said the academics were chosen for their ability to contribute to future scientific and business management practices in sport. ‘‘Their research will feed back into a highly sophisticated knowledge pool allowing us to maintain education products on the cutting edge of sport,’’ he said.
