Award Description
The University of Birmingham Sport Scholarship programme offers the opportunity for talented dual-career student-athletes, competing at a junior international level and above within their sport/discipline, to not only access a wide range of specialist support services that will help them develop and achieve their sporting goals, but also find and manage the balance between their sporting and academic endeavours.
Value of Award
A UBSport Scholarship is valued between £4000 - £10,000, depending on the individual and level of representation.
Each scholarship is tailored to the student-athlete and their needs and demands, including unlimited sports medicine support, as well as access to sports science, strength & conditioning, and performance lifestyle support.
In addition to these services, each scholar also receives three expense payments per academic year and access to additional funding pots if deemed necessary.
Eligibility Criteria
Student-athletes competing at a junior international standard or above within an Olympic/Commonwealth Games, BUCS-scoring sport are eligible to apply for a UBSport Scholarship.
How to Apply
Applications are completed online on the UBSport Scholarship website. Applications tend to open in December of every year and close the following June, prior to the beginning of the new academic year in September.
Due to the high volume of applications we receive, and our aim to recruit the very best student-athletes in the country, we tend to split the application process into two waves
- Wave 1 interviews tend to take place in late February (for incoming applicants only)
- Wave 2 interviews tend to take place in early July.
