Sport Scholarships

The University of Brighton offers sport scholarships for talented athletes looking to combine their sporting aspirations with their studies. Recent sports facility developments and a comprehensive support package make Brighton an attractive choice for student athletes. The programme provides financial support along with access to professional coaching, medical services including physiotherapy and sports massage, individual and small group strength and conditioning sessions, and mentoring/lifestyle support. Athletes also benefit from an athlete workshop programme covering topics such as sports physiology, nutrition, psychology, injury prevention and management, and lifestyle management. Access to training facilities is provided where possible. Scholarships and the value awarded to individuals depend on the athlete's current competition level and the number and quality of overall applications that year. The minimum requirement for applying is competing at regional level competition. Scholarships are open to a range of widely recognised sports and include disability sports. The programme is supported by donations to the university, and scholarship students need to re-apply annually.
