Elite Sport bursary

We understand the pressures and challenges of combining university studying with elite level sport.

At Loughborough, we recognise that elite athletes can find their demanding training and competition schedules challenging to manage alongside their academic studies without the underpinning support to be able to achieve in both areas.

Our foundation programme now also offers the opportunity for students performing at a very high standard, looking to join one of our sporting performance programmes, who wish to study at Loughborough, but do not have the required qualifications due to their sporting pathway. It is ideal for students who wish to combine their sports training with academic study.
This £3,000 bursary is awarded to students on the elite athlete foundation programme. The award is to help students with living, sporting, and course costs.

Eligibility criteria

  • Students must be part of the elite athlete foundation programme
  • The bursary is compatible with other sources of funding
  • Recipients must have achieved entry criteria of BBC at A'Level or DDM at BTEC

How to apply

You do not need to apply for the bursary. The award will be given to eligible students upon enrolment at the University.
