The University of Hertfordshire is committed to the development of sporting excellence. 

Sports Scholarships and a range of other sports services are on offer to provide the necessary support to enable athletes to successfully train, compete and achieve their sporting and academic aspirations during their time at the university.

If you are nationally ranked or have achieved recognition in your sport at a regional level or above you could be eligible for a sports scholarship.

Our sports scholars benefit from:

• Top quality coaching by National Governing Body Coaches
• Access to our resident physiotherapists at Bodybalance Sports Injury Clinic
• Strength and conditioning support at Performance Hertfordshire
• Free gym and swim membership and special rate facility hire
• Athletic Union membership
• Contribution towards BUCS competition expenses
• University branded teamwear
• Financial contribution 

Each applicant is assessed on an individual basis against a set criteria, therefore services may vary from those listed above.
