Sports Scholarships

متطلبات أهلية أخرى

In 2026/27 the university will award around 10 new Sports Scholarships to athletes, coaches and officials. The number of awards and amount given to each student is dependent on how many applications are received and the level of performance of the applicants and engagement with the programme.

To be considered, athletes/officials/coaches must perform in a sport that:

• Is an Olympic/Paralympic/Commonwealth programme
• Is part of the BUCS competition programme
• Is available to practice within our Students’ Union Clubs
• Has a National Governing Body and is a Sports England recognized sport.

Eligibility

Scholarships are most likely to be awarded to performers in sports on the Olympic pathway, as well as those which are available in the British Universities and Collages Sport (BUCS) leagues and competitions.

All Scholars will be assessed on a case by case basis.

First year students will initially be assessed on their sporting participation in their school, college or university in the year prior to commencing their studies at the University of Gloucestershire. Returning students will also be assessed on their sporting and academic participation in their previous year. After assessment, continued eligibility, for all students, will be based on participation and performance in both their studies and chosen sport throughout the current academic year, on an ongoing basis.
