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.
