The University of Leeds awards a number of scholarships to aspiring coaches to help raise club performances within their chosen sports. Working in conjunction with the Head Coaches of the University teams it is an excellent opportunity for students to further develop themselves outside the academic arena.

The Coaching Scholarship is an exciting opportunity for current undergraduate or postgraduate students who can demonstrate high standards of personal, professional and learning attributes.
