TASS: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship

Scholarship opportunity for MSc Strength and Conditioning Coaching.

The information on this page is correct for the 2024/25 academic year.

Overview

We are pleased to offer this scholarship package with a specific focus on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), on behalf of the Sport England funded Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).

Due to limited funding, one scholarship is currently available per academic year.

What you could receive

The successful applicant will receive:

  • their tuition fees paid in full, 
  • voluntary work experience opportunities with Team Hallam, and
  • continuing professional development (CPD) worth approx. £2,000.

Who can apply

You can apply for the TASS: EDI Scholarship if you:

  • are willing to study MSc Strength and Conditioning Coaching at Sheffield Hallam University in the upcoming academic year, and
  • are a UK national with a home fee status.

We are particularly keen to hear from you if any of the following apply to you:

  • you are from an ethnic minority background,
  • you have a disability,
  • you are from a low-income household,
  • you have caring responsibilities, 
  • you have parental responsibilities,
  • you have experienced being in the care system and/or you are estranged from your parents,
  • you are a refugee, or
  • you identify as transgender/non-binary.

This scholarship will only be awarded to those who go on to accept an offer of a place on MSc Strength and Conditioning Coaching at Sheffield Hallam University and complete the enrolment process.

If you receive benefits and/or any other financial support, it is your responsibility to check whether receiving an award will affect your entitlement(s)/payments.

What happens next

A panel will assess applications shortly after the application deadline. We will contact you regarding the outcome of your application shortly after the panel has met.

The successful applicant will be invited to an induction meeting where the scholarship and the associated volunteering and CPD opportunities can be discussed in more detail.

As this is a competitive process and as there is currently only one scholarship available, we strongly recommend that all applicants follow the usual processes to secure the relevant student funding for tuition fees. Where appropriate, successful applicants will be able to amend/cancel their request for financial support from Student Finance England once their scholarship has been awarded.
