Sports Scholarships

Gifts to sport at Loughborough help our students to thrive in their sport and academic pursuits.

At Loughborough, we understand the pressures and challenges of combining university studying with elite level sport. Sports Scholarships provide talented student-athletes with the opportunity to train and study at Loughborough, regardless of their financial background.

Our student athletes in our sporting performance programmes benefit from our unrivalled support and ethos of sporting development. They can apply to receive a sport scholarship, providing them with direct financial support and the chance to take advantage of what everything on offer at Loughborough.

A Sports Scholarship provides a student on a performance programme with up to £5,000 of funding per year.

Performance programmes cover a breadth of sports, and students in receipt of scholarships are given the chance to really focus on their training alongside their studies.

Our sports scholarships support all athletes at Loughborough. Our ambition is to become the leading university in para sport globally, and to create inspirational, inclusive and life-shaping opportunities for all talented athletes.
