SPORT SCHOLAR BENEFITS

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIP

All Sport Scholars are set a status of either Performance or Elite depending on the level you are performing at in your sport. Once you’ve submitted your application, the Sport Scholarship Committee will make a decision on whether you meet the criteria and to which status you will be appointed.

To be considered for performance level, you will need to be competing at county level in your sport. For an elite level scholarship, you will need to be competing at national standard or above. This may differ slightly depending on the sport.

Applications close 31st August 2021 so please apply as soon as you can. Due to limited spaces and the high level of applications now being received, it is not guaranteed that you will be selected for the scheme even if you meet the criteria.
