Scholarship for Sporting Excellence

Other eligibility requirements

The University is dedicated to giving its students the opportunity to play sports at all levels.

We recognise the difficulties students encounter trying to balance academic studies with training and competition schedules. Alongside the scholarship, we offer a support network designed to encourage talented sports people to meet their full potential in their academic studies, as well as their chosen sport.

Cash scholarships are available, worth between £500 and £1500 per year, based on submission of an application. Successful recipients also receive travel and entry costs for competitions and gym access.

This scholarship can be combined with additional support to help you achieve your potential in both sporting performance and in your degree. This includes mentoring, access to the University of Roehampton gym and academic support.

The scholarships are available to students who will be studying on any Roehampton course, at any level, undergraduate or postgraduate. In your application you need to demonstrate your commitment to your chosen sport and your ability to combine academic progression with sporting excellence. Your application will be assessed by a panel, chaired by the Sport Roehampton Manager.
