Scholarships are available at Elite and Performance levels. Applicants should meet at least one of the following criteria:
Elite Sports Scholarship
- Competing at elite or professional level
- Funded by a National Governing Body
- Senior international representation
- A top-five UK age-group ranking or equivalent
- The potential to win a medal at a leading BUCS competition
Performance Sports Scholarship
- Competition at national level

For team sports within Brunel’s Performance Sport Programme, athletes may also be considered through coach nomination. They must be among the strongest players in their team and demonstrate the ability to make a significant impact at BUCS level.
Applications are welcomed from athletes across all BUCS sports. Athletes competing in non-BUCS sports may also be considered where they are performing at an exceptionally high level and would be a valuable addition to the programme.
