High Performance Scholarship
This award is for student athletes who are competing at a very high level in individual or team sports. This would mean attendance at major Senior Championships such as Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth Games. Or be a top ranked age group athlete. In team sports a player would need to be a in a Senior or age group National team that competes in an International Tournament.
N.B. We are well aware that athletes and team players who compete at an International level already have excellent support from their clubs, sponsors and national governing bodies, therefore we will endeavour to put together a bespoke scholarship package that is best suited to their needs rather than providing access to a service or services that are not needed.
Financial contributions would be up to the value of £3,000.

Important Information
We have a limited number of Scholarships to award in 2023/24 and therefore in addition to requiring you to meet the above criteria we will give priority to students who can demonstrate that they will make a significant contribution in their respective sport.
Meeting the criteria does not equate to entitlement to a scholarship.
World Student Games representation or equivalent
Where a Leeds Beckett Student is selected to represent British Universities in the World Student Games or an International tournament and are required to make a financial contribution then we will give them an award of up to £500.
N.B. The full £500 will only be awarded when the contribution is equal to or more than £500.
