Scholarship applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are now open. 

Each sporting academy is able to offer partial scholarships (which may include boarding), for outstanding student-athletes.

The awarding of a scholarship award in these sports will be dependent upon national rankings or independently demonstrated levels of high ability (times; rankings; handicaps). These scholarships will be awarded following decisions made by the Athletics Director and Head Coach. In some cases, this will follow a trial or other evidence of high performance.

Typically these awards will go to athletes with national representation honours, or those who demonstrate the exceptional ability, and desire, to become professional athletes.

For any scholarships to join the BISP Swim Academy, please also include times of your most recent events in your application.
