In order to apply for funding under the Sports Capital Programme, clubs and organisations must register through the new online system – OSCAR (Online Sports Capital Register).

OSCAR will also allow groups to view previous grants and payments, change contact details, seek payment of a grant and otherwise communicate with the Department online. This will be the only way to apply for grants under any future rounds of the Sports Capital Programme. The closing date for the registration process is February 7^th but it is strongly recommended that clubs/groups wishing to apply for funding under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme register before the application process opens on January 17^th.
