How to Apply
To apply for a 2012/13 Sport Entrance Scholarship, download our application form (doc). You can get help completing your application by reading our guidance notes (doc).
The deadline for applying for 2012/13 Entrance Scholarships is Friday 15th June 2012.
The application process gives you an opportunity to tell us about your past achievements in sport, your future plans and how a scholarship would benefit you.
The judging panel will be keen to discover:
- Your current levels of sporting performance;
- Your sporting ambitions;
- How you propose to fulfil these ambitions;
- How a scholarship would help you.
We will also take into account success achieved in adversity, where you have demonstrated excellence in sport and had to overcome exceptional circumstances.
It's essential to provide evidence to demonstrate your success by providing photocopies of any certificates or official letters where relevant. You must also choose a referee who will be asked to explain in a few paragraphs why they think you're a deserving recipient of an Entrance Scholarship.
