Sporting Excellence

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

Donations to sport at Loughborough support scholarships and provide students with one-off grants to help them to access additional training and equipment.

At Loughborough, we understand the pressures and challenges of combining university studying with elite level sport.

Our student athletes in our sporting performance programmes benefit from our unrivalled support and ethos of sporting development. They can also apply to receive a sport scholarship, providing them with direct financial support.

In addition to sports scholarships, our athletes can apply for grants from the George Gandy Legacy Fund, which was set up in memory of the former athletics coach.
