ASICS Athletics Scholarships

The newest additions to our Sports Scholarship Programmes are two ASICS-funded scholarships for the sport of athletics. The scholarships consist of funding of £5000 towards the development of emerging athletics' talent for one academic year. Funding can be put towards competition and training costs and support to help an athlete maximise their potential within the sport.

The scholarships are funded through part of a legacy agreement with ASICS, one of our London 2012 Olympic Partners. In addition to the Sports Scholarships ASICS are also funding Undergraduate Bursaries, PhD studentships and Coaching Clinics for UEL Students.

Applications for the Asics Sports Scholarships are via the UEL Sport Scholarship application form. Please tick the ASICS sports scholarship tick box if you wish to be considered for this award.

Successful applicants will be expected to carry out at least 10 hours of ambassadorial duties for UEL and do at least ten 10 hours of appearance and ambassadorial work on behalf of ASICS. They will also be expected to compete for UEL in the BUCS Indoor Championships, BUCS T&F Championships (and BUCS Cross Country/Marathon or Multievent Championships if relevant).

Successful applicants can be studying towards any undergraduate or postgraduate, but must not be receiving funding or sponsorship, monetary or in kind, from a conflicting company (e.g. another clothing or footwear manufacturer). Scholarships are open to all home, EU and International fee paying students.
