The Bursary is awarded annually to athletes competing at the highest domestic level competition within their sport, where the training base and competition venue is located outside of Exeter.
The amount awarded depends on your:
- Chosen sport
- Club/team you represent
- Level of representation
All of our sporting awards are funded centrally by the University Performance Programme. However, several partners, local and national sponsors also show great generosity by financing several individual scholarships and bursaries.
