Sport Scholarships
Award
We pride ourselves on the environment and support services we provide to all our student-athletes in our performance programmes to support them to develop. Through our performance programmes, student-athletes have access to dedicated coaches, in-house support services and integrated academic staff providing an on-campus support package for each student worth thousands of pounds.
In addition to this we offer sport scholarships to our most talented student-athletes. We pride ourselves on committing to student athletes through their studies and only offer scholarships to new students (including Cardiff Met Undergraduate progressing to Postgraduate study).

Application process and criteria
We run two approaches to scholarships depending on the sport.
Performance Programmes
We operate Performance Programmes in Athletics, Women’s Basketball, Wheelchair Basketball, Men’s Cricket, Men’s and Women’s Football, Men’s and Women’s Hockey, Netball, Men’s and Women’s Rugby, Tennis and Triathlon.
We do not operate an application process for our performance programmes. Our coaching and programme staff will identify any potential scholarship students through the recruitment process. Our awards are aligned to the needs of our teams and squads. If you have any questions, please contact the relevant Performance Programme.
Non-Performance Programmes
Criteria for these sports is;
- National and international level - this will be considered appropriately to the sport. Consideration will be given to the pathway and competition structure for the sport, senior and age group representation. For UK based students, consideration will be given to home nation and GB representation in relation to the pathway for the specific sport.
- Where the sport is a BUCS sport, applications will be considered against medal winning/national league standards within the sport.
- Meeting the criteria will not guarantee a scholarship.
