About the Scholarship Award
Can I carry my scholarship over to the next academic year if I defer?
You will not be able to carry over your scholarship. You must meet the conditions outlined in your acceptance letter. Should you not, then you will not receive your benefits package for the named year, and you will need to reapply.
Who makes the final decision on whether a Swansea University Sport Scholarship is awarded?
An independent selection panel is made up of Sport Swansea performance sport staff, student sport staff and scholarship supervisors.
If I was awarded a Swansea University Sport Scholarship award last academic year, do I need to apply again?
Yes. Scholarships are awarded annually. You will need to apply again, as circumstances do change. Please note that holding a scholarship previously does not guarantee you being grated one again.
Am I able to have money instead of the services offered?
No. If you are successfully awarded a Swansea University Sport scholarship, you will receive the package applicable to the award granted.
Does a Swansea University Sport Scholarship include a financial reward?
Our scholars can receive up to £2,000 per academic year. In addition to these direct financial awards, we offer a full range of free support services for each scholarship package.
