Winning Students

Winning Students is Scotland's national sports scholarship programme supporting students competing in high performance sport.

In member colleges and universities across Scotland, some of the most talented young athletes - including Olympians, Commonwealth competitors and senior internationalists - are combining their studies and their sport.

Recognising this dedication and determination, Winning Students supports selected athletes with scholarships of up to £5,500 each year, which can be invested in a range of services.

Across nine core sports, the scholarships now support more than 100 student athletes.

Being a student and playing badminton at this level isn't easy, but I wouldn’t have one without the other and selection for Winning Students has allowed me to do both well.
