The Layne Beachley Aim for the Stars Foundation was created to inspire girls and women across Australia to dream and achieve.

Having experienced the financial pressures of supporting my professional surfing career, I set out to establish a foundation offering assistance for those who need some extra help to achieve their ambitions. It is a hard task to be the best at your chosen aspiration when you are busy trying to substitute your income or do your school work. There were plenty of moments when I wanted to quit but I cannot begin to imagine where I would be now if I let money dictate my love for surfing!

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY
• Females, 12 years of age and above; and
• Females who aim to achieve their goals in their field of choice

WHAT THE GRANT INVOLVES
The Foundation will award a minimum of $20,000 worth of grants each year. Successful applicants will receive a financial grant in accordance with the following amounts and conditions:
$1,500 – "Kickstart" Grant, 12 to 16 years
$1,500 – "Environmental" Grant, 12 years and above
$3,000 – "Individual" Grant, 16 years and above
$6,000 – "Group" Grant, 2 or more people 12 years and above

Grants will be paid in two instalments. The first instalment will be paid once the successful applicants have been announced. The second instalment will be made upon the Foundation receiving a mid year update of the applicants progress.
Grant recipients may be asked to contribute to the Aim for the Stars website by way of photos, interviews and stories about their quest to reach their goals.
