Scholarship criteria

Undergraduate/Postgraduate

Saints Golf Performance Scholarships are open to both male and female golfers, and both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The number of scholarships awarded each year will be determined by the quality of the applicants.

We are seeking students who are fully committed to a performance scholarship programme. In addition to a high level of performance on the course you must be able to demonstrate the attitudes which are necessary for success off the course, both individually and as part of a performance squad/team.

We will examine various criteria and make efforts to meet you in person where possible, ideally with a chance to watch you compete in competition play.

The scholarships provide a wide range of benefits and development opportunities, everything a player should require to improve and be successful in competitive golf.
