Sport Scholarships

Here at Northumbria, we're committed to supporting student-athletes with their development both athletically and academically.

Northumbria Sport supports students via tailored sports scholarship programmes across a range of sports. These scholarships are designed to support student-athletes on their dual career journey of developing their sporting ability, whilst completing their degree. Learn more about our Sport Scholarships below.

To be eligible to apply for one of our Sports Scholarships you must be of academy, national or international standard, or show strong evidence of future outstanding potential, successfully secured a place on a course at Northumbria University, Newcastle, and be a home or international student at Northumbria University, Newcastle studying at least 60 credits a year. Whilst priority is given to Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth sports, other sports outside of this are considered on a case-by-case basis.
