This year, more than 240 students across 35 sports received financial sporting scholarships. A further 60 students were offered places in our Talented Athlete Program for emerging athletes. In addition to financial assistance, athletes receive access to international travel grants, academic tutoring and counselling, personal development seminars, specialised exercise and nutrition programs and access to some of the finest fitness facilities in Australia. Sydney University athletes become part of Australia's oldest and richest academic and sporting tradition. The University is the only tertiary education institution to be formally linked with the New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS). Our aim is to attract, encourage and assist elite athletes with their sporting and academic pursuits concurrently.
