About This Opportunity

The Weldon-le-Huray Sport Scholarships programme provides opportunities for home students from lower-income households to represent Durham at the highest levels of University sport, including being able to undertake leadership development opportunities. Three scholarships are available for applicants planning to commence their undergraduate studies at Durham and who are able to demonstrate exceptional potential in the field of Sport. Each scholarship is worth £4,000 per academic year to help support tuition fees, living costs, all other costs of study and career/leadership development opportunities. These scholarships are kindly supported by Guy and Sarah Weldon and are available for the duration of the undergraduate programme, up to a maximum of four years. Durham University is Sports University of the Year in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, and few universities are so successful at providing the right environment for both the academic and sporting potential of its undergraduate students to flourish.
