Our vision is to provide unparalleled levels of support to our clubs and athletes in order to enhance performance and inspire our students to achieve both academic and sporting excellence.

We have some of the best facilities in Scotland and a team of specialist coaching staff, who have come to St Andrews with a wealth of experience gained at the top of their field within international and professional sport.

With your help we can take our programmes to the next level and create a centre of excellence that delivers a world-class experience and places a real value on our athletes, offering them access to unrivalled opportunities and support to develop and flourish.

Our ultimate aim is to attract the very best student athletes to St Andrews, build a performance culture within our programmes and increase the number of teams competing at the highest level of British student sport, thus positioning ourselves to go on and win national titles.

• Sports scholarships

  The University’s fundamental goal is to attract and nurture the most promising students from around the world and make the St Andrews experience unique – to differentiate this University from all others.

  As a world leading academic institution, we pride ourselves on our ability to attract the brightest minds from across the world. With a significant investment in sport over recent years we are now beginning to attract some of the best student athletes.

  Our sports scholarships reward academic and sporting excellence and are designed to attract and then support the best academically gifted student athletes from around the world and to help them achieve their goals on both sporting and academic fronts.

  We offer various sports scholarships for applicants on full-time undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes. The range of support varies but for exceptional candidates this could include a reduction in tuition fees and/or a contribution towards tuition fees.

  Rowing scholarships and awards available include:

  St Leonards College Masters scholarships

  Scott Lang High Performance Athlete awards

• How you can help

  We believe the impact that talented athletes can make goes well beyond their success within the sporting arena.

  The natural synergy between excellence in academic achievement and involvement in top level sport helps to foster many key attributes in our student athletes such as leadership, organisation, discipline, decision making ability, self- determination, drive, resilience and passion.

  Students who can meet the high academic demands for entry to the University of St Andrews and engage at the highest level in their chosen field of sport will not only demand the future attention of leading employers but will automatically help to improve standards and create conditions in which all participants can flourish, are engaged, valued and inspired to continuously improve and expand their horizons, ensuring there is equal opportunity for all students to excel.

  By supporting our Performance Sport programme, you can help our top teams and athletes to achieve success, both here in Scotland and around the world, and enhance the University’s reputation for academic and sporting excellence.

  Every donation to our programme helps us to realise our vision of attracting the very best students to St Andrews who can help shape and develop a centre of excellence that delivers a world-class experience in which all our students have the opportunity and support to develop and flourish.
