What does the university expect from scholars?
Sports scholars will be expected to represent University of Gloucestershire in BUCS-level competition and be exemplary students, demonstrating high levels of attendance and academic engagement. Regular reviews will take place to monitor this. A sports scholarship agreement will need to be signed and our terms and conditions agreed to before the scholarship commences.
Entry requirements and terms
Scholars must be enrolled on a degree course at University of Gloucestershire. This can be full or part time on any undergraduate or postgraduate programme. Scholars will be selected from the highest level applicants each year – the minimum standard is usually around regional level, although this varies by sport.
