Winning Students scholarships for hockey players
Scotland’s budding hockey scholars have been included among a group of more than 150 top athletes – including many medallists from the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games – who have been selected for a prestigious scholarship.
The Winning Students sports scholarships provide gifted young athletes studying in colleges and universities across Scotland with funding support and the flexibility to achieve their sporting and study goals.
First established in 2008, the Winning Students scholarships are funded by the Scottish Funding Council and managed by the University of Stirling, with 31 colleges and universities now signed up to provide high quality support to their athletes.
Twenty-seven hockey players have been awarded with funding, including a number of Scotland’s Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games squad.
The funding will enable students to balance their education with their high performance commitments at senior and youth international levels.
Recent research found graduates of the scholarships had lower levels of unemployment and higher salaries for their first full-time jobs.
