Hockey, Basketball & Cricket Scholarships at Worcester

If you have an outstanding record of achievement in a particular sport and want to combine this talent with study at a university with a proven reputation, then you may be eligible for a sports scholarship at Worcester.

Our sports scholarships/bursaries represent a very special partnership with three of the region’s top sports teams, Worcestershire County Cricket Club (WCCC), Worcester Hockey Club and Worcester Wolves Basketball Club.

The scholarship is a tremendous opportunity for someone with skill and dedication. We are looking for an able intellect combined with relevant sports potential and ambition to succeed on and off the field. An excellent track record in your sport at youth level is vital and we are also keen to see evidence of your drive and determination.

For all awards, scholars will follow a three/four year degree course and are required to take an active part in Worcester’s Students’ Union teams for British University competitions. It is also hoped that selection for representative teams will occur.

Each scholarship will normally be available for three years, although each is reviewed annually. Be aware that scholarships are the subject of Annual Performance Reviews and University participation records.

The Institute of Sport and Exercise Science has an appointed mentor who supports identified athletes on the Talented Athlete Sport Scholarships initiative.

An opportunity exists each year for a Sports Studies student to apply for the sports scholarship to spend up to a semester with a partner college in Australia and undertake work experience.

Rugby Scholarships are currently being developed with Worcester Warriors Rugby Club. Please contact The Institute on 01905 855569 for information.
