Sports Scholarship for Applicants

If you are awarded a Sports Scholarship but subsequently defer your offer of a place to study with us, you will no longer be eligible to receive the Sports Scholarship, though you are welcome to re-apply for a Sports Scholarship in the following application cycle before you join your course. Please bear in mind, however, that there is a competitive application process so a successful outcome to your second application (or the same level of award) cannot be guaranteed.

Direct entrants to Year 2 or later of undergraduate programmes, as well as permanent employees of Edge Hill University, are not eligible for a Sports Scholarship.

To be eligible to apply for a Sports Scholarship, you must have applied to study a full-time undergraduate degree (BA/BEng/BSc/LLB/MBChB), full-time integrated Masters degree (MComp/MEng/MNSW/MSci), full-time foundation degree (FdA/FdSc) or full-time PGCE or PGDE at Edge Hill University and firmly accepted an offer of a place to study with us. Please note, while MBChB Medicine and MBChB Medicine with Foundation Year applicants are eligible to apply for a Sports Scholarship, the scholarship benefits available may vary from those outlined above due to the longer length of these programmes.
