The BU Sport Scholarship is available to high-level sporting athletes coming to study at either undergraduate or postgraduate level at BU. The scholarship is designed to provide funding you may need to develop your sporting abilities and take them to the next level.

You can apply for up to £5,000 of finances to put towards your sporting development and could be any of the following: coaching, equipment, competition entry fees, travel expenses and/or other support services.

You must demonstrate excellence in your chosen sport, and be part of a Regional, National and/or International squad and compete at that level. Student athletes receiving a scholarship will ideally represent BU in the BUCS programme (League and Individual), as well as themselves and/or their club at regional, national or international level. Individual student athletes need to be competitive with the top performers within the BUCS programme.

If you are awarded a scholarship, you will need to meet with the High-Performance Team to assess how the funds will help you throughout the year and it will be your responsibility to commit to the following:

• Attend all expected academic activities (Dual Career Support Provided)

• Attend 75% of sport specific training sessions

• Attend 85% S&C sessions 

• Engage with all support services offered 

• Represent BU in sporting competitions where possible 

• Provide stories of your performance activities.

As part of your application for a BU Sport Scholarship, you will have to attend our trial process and be assessed by our coaches and to help with this, please ensure your application is supported by a reference from a High-Performance Coach or National Governing Body coach. If you are applying for a sport that sits outside our performance BUCS programme, you will need to ensure that two references are sent alongside your application and demonstrate how you will maintain your level of training.
