Sports Scholarships

The University offers opportunities for student athletes to be supported with their aspirations of maintaining their playing career whilst also studying for a high-quality degree. Our panel will consider applicants as part of the admissions cycle and will offer support to those they feel will make a valuable contribution to the University's sporting objectives. Please note,only students who plan to commence on a full or part-time undergraduate or postgraduate course at the University, are eligible to apply for a Sport Scholarship.

Eligibility

• The scholarships are available to UK, EU and International students.
• The student must be studying on a full time or part time undergraduate or postgraduate course at the University, at either the Preston, Burnley, West Lakes or Myerscough Campuses to be eligible for a sport scholarship.
• You must be competing in a recognised British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) sport or para sport (you can check the list of sports using these links – BUCS Sports or BUCS Para Sport) and be willing and able to compete on behalf of the University (i.e. not barred by professional contract to play for the University).
• Normally scholarships are awarded to students studying at the University's main campus in Preston as this is where the performance sports infrastructure is based. However individual sport students may be able to represent the University in Championship competitions without the need to be based at the Preston campus such instances will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Our Golf team also operates from our Myerscough campus.
