CASES Fellowship

CASES Fellowship is considered an accolade that individuals aspire to and an honour that people are proud of and is valued. For 'FCASES' to be placed after someone's name, it should denote a passion and commitment to CASES and sport and exercise sciences. It is expected that CASES Fellows will act as leaders and ambassadors for the Association. 

CASES Fellowship is awarded to recognise esteemed professional achievement, skills, knowledge and service to CASES and the sport and exercise science community and encourages continued service to CASES in leadership and ambassadorial roles.

What are the criteria for a Fellowship?

How do I apply for a Fellowship?

• Complete the CASES Fellowship Application Form 
• Secure two letters of support from CASES Fellows (See details below) 
• Submit your completed CASES Fellowship Application form via this portal by 31 July
• The Board makes the final decision.

Successful applicants will be announced at the CASES Conference dinner and awarded their Fellowship certificate and pin badge (members who cannot make the dinner will be deferred until the following year).

Notes for Written Support from Two CASES Fellows

Applicants need to secure two confidential letters of support from CASES Fellows. Letter should reflect upon the applicant’s professional achievement, skills, knowledge and service to CASES and the sport and exercise science community. Having obtained their agreement to provide such support, the applicant should forward them a copy of his/her CASES Fellowship Application form for them to read. The letters of support should state who the letter is supporting and that they have read the CASES Fellowship Application form and certify that to the best of their knowledge the information supplied in the application form is correct. 

Letters of support must then be uploaded by the CASES Fellows via this link by 31 July.
If letters of support are not received by 31 July, then the application will not proceed so it is very important for the CASES Fellows to be aware of this deadline and submission process.
