The University of Sussex offers tiered support to high-performing athletes via our Sports Scholarships Scheme. The scholarships are available to UK, EU and International students who have demonstrated sporting excellence prior to joining Sussex and are committed to developing their sporting performance while in the university.
The Sports Scholarship Scheme has been supporting students to reach their athletic potential since 2003, with successes coming from Olympic games, national titles and medals at BUCS championships.
If you’re a talented student-athlete, Sussex University offers comprehensive Sports Scholarships that provide a network of support and financial assistance to develop you as a sportsperson and student, with the opportunity for mentoring with world-class athletes.
Recipients of the scholarship can receive between £500-£1,250 per year as well as a range of other benefits.
