Sports Scholarships Programme

Other eligibility requirements

Our elite sport programme is headlined by our sport scholarships package, offering funding up to £3,000 and on campus support to our very best students at the top of their sporting discipline.

Anyone can apply for an award as long as they have met the academic requirements for a course and subsequently been given a conditional or unconditional place at Brunel University London.

As main criteria, all applicants must be able to demonstrate sporting achievement at junior international level or equivalent in one of the priority sports listed below and/or evidence a top 10 age ranking within their chosen sport.

Please note, that competition for scholarships can be very high, and you must be able to show evidence of your sporting achievements and supporting information from your National Governing Body Performance Director/National Coach. Meeting these criteria is not a guarantee for a Scholarship award.

What we include within the scholarship award 2026/27:

• Cash award up to £3000 per academic year*
• Support Package benefits/products worth over £500
• Athlete-friendly accommodation on campus next to sports facilities**

Cash awards vary annually depending upon sport, funding and support. The programme does not cover accommodation costs or tuition fees.
