Please note that you will only receive this award for the first year of your studies. Awardees will be liable for full fees in the subsequent years of their study but may be able to apply for additional funding through our Elite Athlete Programme once they have enrolled with us. This amount cannot go towards the £5,500 deposit payment required to secure your CAS (student visa).
