Coventry University Sports Scholarships
Who can apply for Coventry University Sports Scholarships?
Eligible students competing at a high sporting level may be able to apply for a Coventry University Sports Scholarship.
Our Sports Scholarship programme consists of two levels and offers either £1,500 or £3,000 in a mixture of a cash bursary and support services per academic year. Sports Scholarships are awarded competitively to approximately 40-45 students each year who have the sporting ability to represent the University at a high level. To be considered for one of these scholarships, you must be competing in a sport which is part of the BUCS Sport, Olympic Sports or Paralympic Sports programmes.
