Scholarship opportunity at the University of Worcester for blind or visually impaired athletes

The University of Worcester has a unique reputation within the world of
blind football with many graduates playing at international level.

In order to sustain this unique relationship between visually impaired sport and Higher Education, the University of Worcester has endowed an annual scholarship which will be awarded to an undergraduate student with a sufficient academic profile and who is eligible to represent Great Britain at national and international levels within the sport of blind football.

The scholarship is a legacy to the IBSA World Blind Football Championships whicvh were held in Hereford in 2010

The proposed start date for entry for the first student is September 2011.
Ideally the university scholarship will provide a rolling annual scholarship
covering tuition fees for one student per year for the duration of a three
year undergraduate degree (on the understanding that academic and
sporting achievement is maintained).

If you are interested in applying for this scholarship please contact
Dr Andrea Faull for further information:
