TALENTED young people in a North Yorkshire district could be in line for a cash windfall as part of a special grant scheme.
Ryedale District Council is offering annual awards of £130 to youngsters skilled in sport or art.
The cash can help towards professional training and tuition costs, encouraging a new generation of sportsmen and women, or helping along future top class dancers or musicians.
Young people eligible for the grants must be aged 18 or under, resident in Ryedale for at least six months prior to applying, and receiving regular professional coaching or tuition.
All applications must be made on the official application form, available from the district council website www.ryedale.gov.uk, or by ringing 01653 600666 ext 314.
The closing date for applications is Friday, May 16.
