If you are a talented athlete and represent your sport regionally and/or nationally, we can support you with a Talented Athlete Scholarship. Once recruited as a Talented Athlete you can engage in any curriculum programme of choice. The scheme has been devised to enable student athletes to pursue sporting excellence, academic, or professional success by the athlete to empower achievement.
If you are currently competing in individual sports such as boxing, tennis, swimming and athletics then our Individual Sports Academy will support you with achieving your sporting goals. Your current club coaching will be supported through weekly strength and conditioning coaching and performance analysis. You will be able to enter regional and national AoC competitions throughout the year and gain access to psychology and nutritional support from our industry experts. Joining one of our Sports Academies is subject to a successful trial and entry onto one of our full-time courses. For more information about any of our Sports Academies or scholarship, complete the form here or contact sportsacademies@sunderlandcollege.ac.uk.
Your scholarship will complement your own club coaching commitments and academic studies.
