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.

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.
