What will a Sports Scholarship offer me?
- Financial award from University and sports club partner, this will be provided in
stages throughout the year. - The University will provide fitness centre training facilities for general fitness training in association with their formal training and development.
- Student support to assist with balancing academic workload and training requirements.
- Media promotions of achievements.
Financial benefits are not the only gains from a CCCU Sports Scholarship. The honour of receiving one also has social and learning advantages too.
"The actual scholarship helps go towards my training, equipment and transport costs and in addition I have had a lot of support in completing coursework including having extended deadlines, due to competitions and training.
Moreover I have met a host of new friends; fellow scholars and lecturers alike, am easily recognised now as a Sports Scholar around the university and have received local media publication for my chosen sport, Pole Vault".

"The scholarship has been an excellent opportunity to meet many other athletes of a variety of sporting backgrounds. Its always interesting and exciting to meet people who have the same motivation, dedication and passion for their individual sport as yourself.
The scholarship money has been immensely supportive to help fund towards a brand new Fligh2i integrated boat and the world championships in Milan, Italy in August/September. This has been extremely helpful in supporting me with my Under 21 Great Britain career.I have really appreciated all the support I have been given from the staff and the scholarship itself, which has allowed me to work academically with my course and remain focused on my Canoe polo.
