Scholarships are designed to help students in every aspect of their pursuit of sporting excellence. The scholarship is not primarily concerned with offering financial assistance to recipients, but will be tailored to meet individual needs on a case by case basis.

Scholarships are offered on an annual basis to athletes who are at, or close to, national standard in their given sport.

Financial assistance is awarded to support travel, training, equipment and competition expenses accrued during the academic year. 

All Scholars will receive a membership to RGU:SPORT and have access to the facilities for the duration of the scholarship. A full range of services are also available to the Scholar which include:

• Fitness Testing and Anthropometry
• Nutrition workshop and consultation
• Performance lifestyle
• Physiotherapy profiling
• Strength and conditioning

Further information can be found in the RGU:SPORT scholarship leaflet which can be downloaded below:
