Sport Scholarship funding is available in the range of £500 - £10,000, which will be allocated annually on a case-by-case basis. The level of funding awarded to an athlete is calculated based on a holistic approach looking at various factors, such as:
- Athlete performance level
- Academic fees
- Financial hardship
- Relative national and international competition level of the athlete's sport
- Relative cost of the athlete's sport
- Other support available to the athlete through internal and external programmes
To be considered for a scholarship, applicants must fulfil the following:
- Hold, or be in the process of applying for, a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate degree programme at the University
- Currently competing at junior international standard or better in their chosen sport
- Ready to be fully involved in university sport, and in particular British University and College Sport (BUCS) Competition
Our approach to awarding scholarships ensures as many athletes as possible receive appropriate and impactful support for their dual-career progression.
