You do not need to receive an offer of study before applying for this scholarship, but we recommend applying for an academic course as soon as possible. Search for courses and find out how to apply.

Scholarship Criteria:

Priority is given to sports within the BUCS programme, Olympic, Paralympic, and Commonwealth sports, with other sports considered on a case-by-case basis.

This award cannot be combined with another University of Nottingham regional or sports scholarship. However, you may also be able to receive a subject scholarship from your academic school or an external scholarship, where the combined total does not exceed 100% of tuition fees. This could include, for example, an award from Nottingham University Business School and/or the government or other funding body in your country.

If you are awarded this scholarship, it will be deducted from the tuition fees charged to you as a student at the University of Nottingham. We will not pay tuition fee scholarships to you directly.

You may be offered either an International Sporting Excellence Award or another sports scholarships package.

Please note, meeting the criteria does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship. See the Scholarship Terms and Conditions for more information. 

Full information about the sports scholarship packages can be found on our sports scholarship page.

BENEFIT:

They offer scholarships of £1,000-£7,000 towards full-time tuition fees for international students at any study level with outstanding sporting ability.
