Coventry University is proud to offer Sports Scholarships to talented student athletes from the EU and overseas. Sports Scholarships are awarded competitively to approximately 40-45 students each year who have the sporting ability to represent the University at a high level (national or above). To be considered for one of these scholarships you must be competing in a sport which is part of the BUCS Sport, Olympic Sports or Paralympic Sports programmes. Read more about the Sports Scholarships we have available.
We offer two levels of support depending on the level of performance. Level 1 is worth £1,500 per year and level 2 is worth £3,000 per year. Each level consists of 50% cash funding and 50% towards support services. Applications are open now.
Application process
Sports Scholarships are awarded each year to the best sportspersons from all applications submitted within the deadline. Decisions are based on achievements during the year leading up to the award and are made by a scholarship panel.
Renewal of the scholarship is not guaranteed and should not be assumed: you will need to make a fresh application each year in the form of a short 500 word statement giving details of your sporting performance during the previous 12 months. If you received a Sports Scholarship in the previous year, you must also have achieved the required academic level to be able to progress to the next stage of your course. Reminders will not be given and it is your responsibility to reapply on time.
The scholarship will not be awarded in a placement year as no fee is payable. Your level of achievement will be carried forward to the next year of University attendance.
We will be opening up the process for the 2021/22 academic year from March 2021.

Students awarded the Scholarship must sign a contract giving the University rights to use their image in perpetuity and request their presence at certain media events if required.
We are a forward-looking, modern university with a proud tradition as a provider of high quality education and a focus on applied research. Our students benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in all academic disciplines including health, design and engineering laboratories, performing arts studios and computing centres. We have been chosen to host three national Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning which has enabled us to invest substantial sums of money in health, design and mathematics.
Our city-centre campus is continually developing and evolving, and we have plans for further investment in it over the next few years. We are a major presence in Coventry, which contributes to the city's friendly and vibrant atmosphere and also enables us to foster successful business partnerships. Through our links with leading edge businesses and organisations in the public and voluntary sectors, our students are able to access project and placement opportunities that enhance their employability on graduation.
Coventry University has a long tradition as a provider of education. Our roots go as far back as Coventry College of Design in 1843. It was in 1970 that Coventry College of Art amalgamated with Lanchester College of Technology and Rugby College of Engineering Technology.
The resulting institution was called Lanchester Polytechnic: 'Lanchester' after the Midlands automotive industry pioneer, Dr Frederick Lanchester, and 'Polytechnic' meaning 'skilled in many sciences and arts'.
