Talented Athlete Programme

The programme is open to all prospective and current students who compete at a regional, national or international level in their sport. All courses, undergraduate or postgraduate, are eligible. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of their achievements and future potential.

There are a limited number of places available each year, so all applicants will be accepted. Every application is scored by a panel, with priority given to BUCS and Olympic sports.

Each year we award TAP scholarships to selected high performing athletes.

As well as a cash award, you get a tailored package of support to suit you and your sport.

This can include advice and mentoring in sports science, strength and conditioning, physiotherapy, personal development, sports psychology, nutrition, and lifestyle support.
