Music Centre Bursaries and Scholarships

The Music Centre offers two types of financial assistance to talented students at the University. There is no music degree at Warwick, hence these awards are open to all students from all disciplines.

Sports Bursaries and Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme

The Department of Physical Education and Sport makes financial assistance available to gifted sportspeople, on an annual basis, via its Sports Bursary Scheme.

Bursary holders are already competing at a national standard or, by their presence in national or regional training squads, show the potential to achieve this standard.
