• Scholarships for Sporting Excellence

    Roehampton currently runs a sports scholarship programme which includes four annual £3,000 scholarships rewarding students for their commitment to sporting excellence.
    The University is dedicated to giving its students the opportunity to play sports at all levels. We recognise the difficulties students encounter trying to balance academic studies with training and competition schedules. Alongside the scholarship we offer a support network designed to encourage talented sports men/women to meet their full potential not only in their chosen sport, but also in their academic studies.

    Roehampton Club Scholarships

    Roehampton Club is an exclusive, private members' sports club, set in 100 acres of parkland, close to Richmond Park. Originally established in 1901 as an officers' polo club, it offers arguably the finest range of sporting and leisure facilities in the London area including; an 18-hole golf course, 29 tennis courts, 5 squash courts, 4 croquet lawns, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym, fitness studio, health and beauty clinic and Bridge room.
