The Change Our Game Scholarship Program is a Victorian Government funding program for women to access professional learning and development opportunities to enhance their skills in sport and recreation leadership and management.
Candidates for the scholarship program are to be nominated by recognised state sporting associations, state sport and recreation bodies, local government authorities and regional sports assemblies. Individuals cannot nominate themselves.

- Identify as a woman
- Be aged 18 years or over
