About this opportunity
The OGQ Junior Badminton Scholarship Programme is Olympic Gold Quest's support programme for promising young badminton players, identifying talented juniors and grooming them toward senior-level and Olympic success.
Started in 2012, the programme supports junior players aged ten to twenty with coaching, equipment, sports science and mentoring, alongside a monthly stipend. Athletes are identified by the foundation's research team rather than through an open application, based on their performance at national and international junior events, with input from their coaches and physiotherapists.
Supported juniors train at partner centres of excellence while the foundation funds and surrounds them with expert support, as part of a structured progression toward senior international competition. The badminton programme is part of the foundation's wider mission to help Indian athletes win Olympic medals.
