The International Sporting Excellence Award is designed to support international students at undergraduate or postgraduate level who are performing or playing sport at an elite level or show strong evidence of future outstanding potential. We’re offering scholarships ranging from £2,500 to £5,000 towards tuition fees in the first year of the chosen degree course
Amount
Tuition fee awards of between £2,500-£5,000 will be paid directly to the University towards your tuition fees in your first semester. Please note that you will only receive this award for the first year of your studies. Awardees will be liable for full fees in the subsequent years of their study but may be able to apply for additional funding through our Elite Athlete Programme once they have enrolled with us. This amount cannot go towards the £5,500 deposit payment required to secure your CAS (student visa).
