The CA Bursary Scheme provides financial support for potential international players of both AC and GC. It is primarily intended to assist players under the age of 25 who wish to take part in tournaments and other challenging croquet activities and, when selected, in international events, both at home and abroad, and require assistance with the costs involved. However, there is no age limit and no formal "means test". Preference is given to applicants aged under 25 at the beginning of the year but older players may also apply. Preference will also be given to applicants who satisfy the Committee that they reasonably require financial support but financial disclosure will not be required.

The scheme is administered by the CA Funding Committee in conjunction with the International Performance Directors (IPDs). The IPDs will recommend and nominate applicants. Players who have not been nominated by an IPD, who feel that they may qualify, may present themselves to the IPDs for possible nomination and/or may apply to the Funding Committee directly.

Funding for the 2022 Scheme has been approved and applications should now be made. In order that the applications may be dealt with as fairly as possible, the Funding Committee has decided to impose a deadline. Applications must be sent by email to the Chairman by 30 April. The full procedure for the Bursary scheme and an application form are on the website
