UK UNIVERSITY OF EXETER-SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP 2010
2010 Sports Scholarship in University of Exeter UK
Scholarship Introduction:
Exeter is proud of its high quality reputation that matches its whole hearted commitment to delivering sporting excellence. Sports Scholars play a key role in maintaining these high standards of achievement; they compete successfully in several of the sports teams that form part of the University High Performance Programme. On average, over 40 Scholarships are awarded each year.
Eligibility for scholarship:
Sports Scholarships are available to undergraduate and postgraduate applicants as well as current students. Candidates must be of outstanding sporting ability who show evidence of achievement or potential at national level. They are only offered to students who have gained an offer of a place or normal admission to a course on their academic qualifications. However, it is not necessary to wait for an offer of a place before submitting your registration of interest. No special reduction in entry criteria is offered as part of the scholarship, nor does the offer of a scholarship carry with it an offer of a place.
Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis and can be renewable for up to a further two years, subject to satisfactory sporting performance, academic progress and general conduct. The scholar will be assessed at the end of each year and they will have to apply for re-nomination for an award. There is no support offered through the Sports Scholarship Scheme to help finance course, tuition or international fees.
The University will make every effort to accommodate your training and performance needs however, no dispensation is offered from the normal course requirements in terms of assessment, progression or final degree classification.
In return for an award, every scholar must be a student at the University of Exeter and compete for the University in BUSA events.
Performers from any sport recognised by the University Athletic Union will be considered, but emphasis is placed on the following High Performance Sports:
- Badminton
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Golf
- Hockey
- Lacrosse
- Netball
- Rugby Union
- Sailing
- Tennis
However, outstanding performers from any sport will be considered. All of these sports mentioned above have nationally recognised reputations for competition and excellence at Exeter, along with first-class sports-specific training facilities.
How to apply:
Late applications may be considered after consultation with the Sports Performance Manager, in order to avoid disappointing any potential sports stars. Late applicants are advised to contact the Sports Performance Manager as soon as possible.
The Sports Scholarship Panel will assess all these applications and invite those successful athletes to formally apply to the second stage of the scheme’s application process.
Second stage applications are generally required by the end of May of any given year prior to arrival in the autumn of that same year. The Scholarship Panel will then meet in May to discuss and decide upon successful scholarship awards.
You will be notified by mid July as to whether your application has been successful. If successful, you will be assigned a level of award and notified on what you will need to do next.
