Sport Scholarship

Overview

If you excel in sport, we can provide extensive financial and mentoring support, so you can study your degree whilst competing at national or international standard in your chosen activity.

We offer scholarships ranging from £500 to £1,500 per year, depending on your level of performance. This scholarship can be combined with additional support to help you achieve your potential in both sporting performance and in your degree. This includes mentoring, access to the University of Roehampton gym and academic support.

The scholarships are available to students who will be studying on any Roehampton course, at any level, undergraduate or postgraduate. In your application you need to demonstrate your commitment to your chosen sport and your ability to combine academic progression with sporting excellence. Your application will be assessed by a panel, chaired by the Sport Roehampton Manager.
