Cricket Academy Scholarship FAQ

[Expand all]

• Who can apply for the Cricket Academy Scholarship?

  The scholarship is open to applicants who have applied for, or intend to apply for, an eligible award-bearing course of minimum one year’s duration at the University of Brighton for 2026 entry, and who can demonstrate a high level of cricketing ability.

  All applicants must meet both the academic entry requirements for their chosen course and the performance standards set by the Cricket Academy.

  Admission to the university is based on your academic suitability for the course and is assessed in line with the university Admissions Policy.

  A scholarship award does not guarantee admission to a course.

  You may be able to hold another scholarship at the same time. This will depend on terms and conditions of other awards.

• Is the Cricket Academy Scholarship available in subsequent years of my course?

  The scholarship is awarded for one academic year at a time and is based on competitive assessment of cricket ability. Students who are awarded the scholarship must re-apply for the scholarship in subsequent years of their course and will be re-assessed by the Cricket Academy for the award based on the cricket performance.

  The award of the scholarship in one academic year does not guarantee award of the scholarship in subsequent years.
