Elite Athlete Program
Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness awarded the first sport scholarships in 1990 with funds provided by the University men's and women's sports bodies, sponsors, the University and other benefactors. In that year the Sports Union celebrated its Centenary and the Women's Sports Association celebrated 80 years. The scholarships were originally known as centenary scholarships and were awarded to two first year students for the term of their undergraduate degree.
Since this time Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness has increased its support of elite student-athletes beyond a financial means. The Elite Athlete Program provides support for all athletes on scholarship, and those athletes with recognised potential who are awarded a place in the Talented Athlete Program (TAP).
To apply for a 2009 Sport Scholarship with Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness, please complete this form.
If you are an elite athlete, look no further than the University of Sydney.
The Elite Athlete Program is there to support and assist you. We work in conjunction with the NSW Institute of Sport to: support elite athletes in pursuit of their sporting and academic goals; equip elite athletes to continue with an alternative vocation after completing their sporting career. In 2007, more than 220 students received scholarships across 38 sporting disciplines. A further 50 students were offered places in our Talented Athlete Program (TAP). Scholarship holders are way out in front with these significant benefits: Financial assistance for college residential expenses, valued between $1000 and $5000 per annum. Representative travel grants (up to $1500). Access to excellent swim and gym facilities, sport science and nutrition assessments.

Tutoring, educational seminars and personal development. Academic counselling and representation to academic staff. Careers counselling and personal mentoring.
