Nottingham Trent University - Nottingham Trent Sports Scholarships

What you get

You will receive a support package tailored to your sport, as well as possibly a cash payment or a reduction in your tuition fees. The cash payment can be up to 200 per year and is calculated on an individual basis. It is paid out in three equal instalments in December, March and May. The non-cash benefits include free membership of a sports club and a gym, strength and conditioning training in small groups, sports nutrition and sports psychology, physiotherapy, performance and lifestyle coaching, the official sports scholarship kit, and support in designing a flexible study timetable tailored to your training and competitions. The scholarship is valid for one academic year; to continue receiving it, you must therefore reapply each year. Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in England runs the programme for its student athletes.
