Big congratulations to NSWRA member Noah Bradford who is one of only 32 sportspeople from around Australia to be selected for the 2025 Sport Australia Hall of Fame (SAHOF) Scholarship and Mentoring program.
Noah, who is a biathlon member of NSWRA, has received a Tier 2 scholarship and receives a $5k sporting grant plus support from SAHOF over the next 16months to work towards possible 2026 Winter Olympics selection.
“Receiving this scholarship is great privilege,” said Noah. “I am really excited to benefit by gaining skills and insights from the opportunities offered by SAHOF which few other scholarship programs provide.
“My goal is to represent Australia at World Championships and the Olympic Games. I’m committed to using what I learn from this program, not just for my personal benefit, but I believe that with the support of this scholarship, I can not only advance my own sporting career but also help inspire other athletes and develop the sport of biathlon in Australia.”
Australian Sports Commission Chair Kate Jenkins AO congratulated the 2025 scholarship recipients.
“The ASC is proud to support this program that helps athletes to reach their full potential and to bring out the best in everyone involved in sport,” She said, “To receive a record number of applications is testament to the program’s success and it has been wonderful to see former scholarship recipients like Torrie Lewis, Caitlin Parker, Alex Saffy and Jesse Moore shine in Paris and inspire the next generation of athletes in the process.
“I wish the latest scholarship recipients every success and hope this extra financial support helps bring them a step closer to reaching their sporting goals.”
NRAA congratulates Noah on his scholarship and wishes him all the best for the 2024-25 European season and 2026 Winter Olympic qualification.
